They look pretty clean, plus I don't have a M14x1.25 tap. I have 30-40 taps, just not that one!

Just to clarify, if I thread French pedals into ISO (9/16x20) threads, they will be loose? I threaded the Lyotards (the pedals I want to use) into a set of cheap Shimano mtb cranks and they were loose but, did snug down.
