Suspension cones for the post-76 'single bolt' subframe should all have the metric 14mm thread.

I think this is the 1.25mm pitch thread, someone else may be able to confirm.

M14 is correct, but I just put a thread gauge on my puller tool
and it looks like M14x2mm.

M14x2mm is the "Standard" M14 (Coarse) thread, so a
piece of all-thread bar and some M14 nuts from a fixings
supplier would probably be usable as a puller tool.

M14x1.25 is Sparkplug!

Another confirmation suggested...

If you have a sykes tool you can buy the metric threaded end on its own. See the spare parts numbers above.
