I finished a Captive Nut Project this weekend. It turned out pretty good. I used a 7/16"-20 thread because that's what I had. In retrospect, I should have sharpened my threading tool bit first because I didn't get as clean of a cut as I could have.
I felt that a fine thread would work best and I also left some runoff area at both ends so the nut could spin off the threads just in case someone thinks that it may hold a clue to the mystery.
