Need Help Identifying A Mystery Thread

I could change a v12 e-type starter in under two hours with no such butchery. It comes out near the front, and gets there on a path resembling a tumbling gymnast. the hardest part was remembering the exact orientation to start the insertion. Start wrong and you'll end up with the starter at the bellhousing upside down or backwards with no room to turn it.
 
It wasn't until '71 or '72 that metric threads got standardized. Each country had their own. We had a Japanese machine that we dare not lose the bolts. Earlier Japanese machines were Whitworth.
