I needed a hard to find part and called Diamond Diesel in Oakland. They are Bosch pump experts and have pretty much everything you might need.

17mm sounds big, I want to say it's m14x1.25...
Take it to a local Napa, hydraulic shop, hardware store etc to match the threads up. If the housing threads are damaged you may be able to repair with heli-coil. May need a bottom tap, not sure how much room there is without hitting the diaphragm.

Or tap to the closest size SAE pipe thread (1/4"?) and dig for a fitting(s) to plumb the small lines back.
