Stripped flywheel bolt, where to get tap & die?
 

This is on a 1997 accord. From waht I've been able to come up with, it's a 12x1.0 thread. ANybody got any clue where I can find a tap/die for this? I found 1 on ebay but auction doesnt end for 3 days. thanks

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.

you realized an oversized bolt will make it unbalanced right?

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 ass of money.

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