I made my own z axis many years ago https://ornamentalmills.com/Bill_Bulkeley/tilting-z-axis/index.html
I went further and made it tilting. I actually found the legacy lead screw thread (4tpi acme) too fast under vibration the z axis tended to Vibrate deeper a finer thread is better like 8 or 10 tpi . A quick easer way out is to just buy a triton router they have a threaded plunge. I guess it depends on how far you want to go sometimes very very rarely a legacy z axis can come up on ebay but you will be waiting.

The 5/8-8 is a simple screw to find on any web site. What are you planning for your Legacy? better depth control for the plunge router? ( This has been a topic that has come up a number of times on our group.) Russ V. Made a simple mod. for his router. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxn3HZAWrao <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxn3HZAWrao&list=PLKEP8I-wf5kFaEcZMc5ekLwyVpVpZ0eX-&index=4> &list=PLKEP8I-wf5kFaEcZMc5ekLwyVpVpZ0eX-&index=4 Perhaps something like this would work for you? There are a number of archived topic, that might help you. Start with this idea, and Please let us know what you think. C.A.G.

It has a plunge router and I would like to add a handle and lead screw so I can have more control of the Z axis. Can anyone tell me where I can find this lead screw with the same pitch as the other screws?
