Long-shot I know as this seems a rare or obsolete size.

Tracy tools are good for obscure threads. I can't see it on their website but you could give them a call.

Update: I bought a 5/16" 24 TPI split die. from The Tap & Die Company. This had enough adjustment to put a perfect thread on my 9/32" rod.

Just being nosy, but what's it for?

Re-purposing an ancient Colnebrook furling gear. By shortening the 9/32" rod that runs up the middle of the foil I can give my yacht a solent rig. The rod screws into a bearing at the top and the drum at the bottom.

Unusual thread. Close in diamter and pitch to M7.

I'm a bit of a thread nerd.

Close, but no coconut. I tried an M7 die on my 9/32" (7.14mm) dia rod. It was a bitch to cut and when I tried it it bound after several turns, yet still 'wobbled'. I need approx 70mm of thread length to secure things properly. My little bit of research found 9/32" 24TPI, UNF threadform, was used on early Harley Davidson motorcycles. Pretty sure I've cracked the problem with a pinched 5/16" split die.
