Genuine seem to be better made IMO.Judging by the marks they are original!I still have a set of chromed ones from DS that I never fitted to my 400 as the the threads seemed poor quality with what appears to be chrome splatter on the the threads Not worth risking stripping a thread on the cam cover. I don't have a nut that I could use to try to sort them out.
I have a thread file but tbh I do not really know how to use it - its a square looking file covered in bits of differently gapped sections - it was bought for a specific job a few years - I bought the wrong type this is for sorting bolts out not nuts - for starters not sure what thread the cap are?
I got a new pitch gauge with some taps I bought and use that. Quick check, match the file size up,sounds like you have the same one as me, and away you go. It’s amazing what you can recover with them, threads that you thought were proper knackered can be nannied up rather well when used with a bit of patience Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
How can the threads be cleaned up on on larger internal thread, namely the rear hub thread?
