8mm X 0.75 Tap - Need one Satruday

Post by BigBird »

I need one of these taps Saturday and don't know any place locally to buy one. It is a much finer thread than standard.
Anyone know where I might find one? Or anyone with a high end metric tap set that might have one I can rent or borrow???

I have a set of metric taps. After I've had a lot more coffee I'll walk out and check.

Try calling your local NAPA store, if they don't have it ask them to check the computer to see if a different NAPA in a town close by might have it.
Sounds like a brake fitting thread and they should carry tools for that

Did you find one? I can bring one to Boom Boom's if you can use it there.

No but THANKS!

I redesigned the mod I was doing so I didn't need it.

See you tomorrow :rickey:
