Taps!

[Thrashed]

Hi guys.

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of a 18mmx1.5 tap for my ball joints. I have done the usual look up online and a single tap is about £20. I have a spark plug tread chaser but this is not long enough or strong enough.

 

Thanks

HI Steve

Got mine from tracey tools in Torquay, there on the web.

Must have been cheap 'cause I brought it.

Just waiting for it to come back from loan........

Handy tip put a black line around top of tap for the

lengh you need to tap (its a long way) Go VERY slowly

as the thread is put in before the tube is welded, theres

loads of weld/splatter in there.

Tracey Tools have been the best souce of taps & dies for years now , i last got all my BSF taps & dies from them when rebuilding my old Triumph T100 SS, they are good for the odd left hand threads also.

 

I think that they must be alot bigger now than when i bought my stuff.
