I thought that one era of 029's (for example) were fine thread and the MS290's were coarse? That the change in thread pitch was because the fine threads would strip out?

You might seek the correct pitch screws?

I roamed around the Internet about the coarse and fine threads on the new cylinders. Only thing I found is a guy that went ahead and run the factory coarse thread self tapping screws into his new Chinese after market cylinder that appeared to have fine threads. He's been happy!
