Just found one in 2 sec at www.mcmaster.com.

Shipping is overnight. Just search for metric taps, select the top result, then select the size from the pull down menu.

chase down a snap on or mac tools truck then get ready to bend over and grab your ankles after they tell you the price If you have a sears hardware around they might have it they carry much more than a normal sears

Ya I paid about 40.00 for my 1/2-20 LH Tap for making traction bars. You have to be ready to pay out the yingyang for odd ball sizes!!!

actially ASAP. I'm helping a friend put in a motor into his accord so we're kinda dead in the water until we get 2 bolts and 2 holes fixed up. I found a guy selling a set on Ebay but auction doesnt end for a while. We could always get a pair from McMasters, but thats gonna be like....an *** of money.

The guy with the fucked up threads is here on HMT too. Dunno his s/n here tho.
