Can't help on threads but interested where you're buying new ones from.  Mine leak but I was going to have a go at re corking them.

The thread is 1/4" BSP.
I have always success with an overhaul of the taps. Often it is only necessary to renew the corks in the "Ewarts" taps.
If the round bore for the cork plunger is not round, it is usefull to ream it out.
