Hey guys, I ordered some custom thumbscrews the other day. One of them is sorta the wrong thread, and it doesn't look like we have a tap to fix it.

 

Can anyone tell me what size tap I'd need to use to re-thread it

How is anybody supposed to tell you what sort of thread the screw is without a picture or any sort of information. This is a link to the most common types of thread used on PC's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_case_screws

The majority of them are usually 6-32 thread screws.
