Nothin's easy...need some help
So I got my Chica's brass pegs and shift peg set. Problem is the shift peg is a coarse thread and the billet lever I have is a fine thread. Both the same size, just different threads.
Do they make all threads that shift threads or can I get one made from a machine shop?

Tough one since they're the same size bolt. I would get a heli-coil from the autoparts store with the correct size thread. Drill hole in lever, use heli-coil tap and insert heli-coil. Voila! problem solved.

try mcmaster-carr. If anyone has what youre looking for, it'll be them
Damfino aint a bad alternative, but id check out mcmaster first

a heli-coil is a thread repair insert - they work very well in the right applications, but use as a last resort as it's no goin back on that path

I would make sure they are the same .
You should be able to tap the fine over to coarse there should be enough metal.
I would do it if it were me BUT.
Look into it before you take my advise..
