0.275" is 7mm, or thereabouts. Any chance it might be 
threaded, with an actual thread count number available????? 
I'd start with what should be a reasonable approximation, with 
Pianotek's metric trichord. If that doesn't fit, Pianotek also 
sells taps and threaded inserts to convert oversize and 
outright weird sizes to SAE U.S. "standard".

Your Chicago tech should be able to chase this down himself 
with no more trouble than it would take any of the rest of us.
