I can confirm the threads are 14mm x 1.0 usualy CCW. Just for your information the tap and DIe set for CCW ( 1 tap+ 1 die) is about 300$ with a 1 month lead time. For CW thread it's about half that price. Only one compagnie has them listed in their chatalog, but most toolmaker will cut custom taps for you but as with all cuistom stuff it's going to be a killer...Better off making then on the lathe if you only plan on making a few.

as for drill size:

14mm x 2.0 ---> 12.0 mm
14mm x 1.5 --->12.5 mm
14mm x 1.0 ---> 12.5 mm
