3/16 BSW has 24 tpi, but the thread profile of the British thread is a little different than USS standards. A USS tap might not go in easily. There's also a British fine-thread (32 tpi) that may be used there, so I would check the internal pitch. Either way, I'd change to a US standard screw unless you are obsessive about originality.
