Thank you GIGFY...I guess best not to do this on a wet day thenRide it up the road with the bolt out it will loosen in a 100 yards or so. Stop pedaling immediately.

Handy info thank youPullers for 23mm (Spécialités T.A.) and 23.35mm (Stronglight) are readily available, and a useful addition to any vintage bikewrencher's toolbox.
If you can find a tap in one of those sizes, that would be my preferred solution. Not sure if a 22mm tap will do much good anymore.
