16in cad spokes. Stock threads

[Sidehacker]

Does anyone make 16in cad plated spokes (or even bare or parkerized ) with the stock thread pitch witch I believe is 8-40 HSS. I have nipples but need spokes

W&W Cycles - Replacement Spokes for Wide Hub and Drop-Center Rims

Maybe these? Looks like their other sets are 32tpi.

Thanks but W&W cycles are 8-32 also. The problem is I bought 2 set of 16in cad plated 4 years ago that are the correct thread pitch. I cant remember from whom I purchase them from. So i know they are out there somewhere . But anyway I do really appreciate you trying.

Ok this is what I ended up doing. I googled every spoke manufacturers that were doing business on the free market. And surprisingly there were quite a few. I texted all of them explaining my problem and I ask what it would cost to m ake me the spokes I desired . The trick was the cadmium plating. It was actually more expensive in the foreign market but I could get exactly what I wanted. I chose to go with the one whom I felt would be the last one I would have been able to afford because of their big name. The catch was that they dont do cadmium plating. Buchanan's Spoke and Rim Inc..They made exactly what I wanted without nipples because I had already bought all the original NOS nipples I needed and had them cad plated . I still have B e to have them cadmium plated but the price was $80 a set with a setup charge of around $60 with the 40 threads per inch like the originals. Now i have my cad plating done in Oregon because they are close to where I live. But the nipples are very reasonable to plate because I believe they put them in a basket. If your wondering about the spokes I will post it when I find out to see how much more or less it would be than the kits with the wrong threads.

Side,
I spent 6 mos looking for the correct 16" spokes and nipples. I found no one. I had also tried Buchanan's and they told me no. However I was looking for the nipples as well. One of the European suppliers now has the 18" but still no 16" I finally found the correct spokes and nipples @ Wauseon this year and am going to CAD plate them myself. Caswell Copy CAD. Wish me luck.
