    One trick that should not be overlooked for producing an internal
    thread, where strength and critical fit are not an issue, is... 

    Starting with the cap which fits "loosely" over the existing male
    thread, wrap the male thread with a bit of wire which then fits
    snugly inside the cap; then carefully unscrew the wire and solder in
    inside the cap. Voila, you have created a threaded cap! 

Regards to all,
Dr. Mac
