To test the thread for fit in the flywheel, take the whole chuck off the lathe with job intact and try screwing it into the flywheel. Then if the thread needs more cutting, just put the chuck back on the lathe where it came off. Assuming of course you have a small hobby sized lathe and not something with a 12" diameter chuck etc!

And you can buy a 30 x 1mm die on Aliexpress for about 10 Quid and use that to final finish the thread. Just takes a few weeks to get to you from China.
