weird tools or just hard to find

« on: February 02, 2007, 12:10:33 PM »
Anyone know a place you can get a 14mm tap from. I've looked everywhere I can think off. I need it for a casesaver for 10mm studs.
Ideas??

What kind of case saver ?  I have 2 kinds. I have a 14mm tap I will loan you. You breaky ,you payee !    How many do you have striped. Its a common tap. I have a Snap-on and a Craftman.
     If you are using "Time-Sert" case saver, I have that kit also, but I don't loan that one out.
    Bring the case-saver over and lets see what you have got.

I might have to take you up on that.All the places around town that carry it are out of em. It's for 1 stud. Someone put a 8mm stud with a casesaver in on a 10mm stud motor.My stepfather being an old fella wants it back original. :lol:

You might find out that the 10mm  case saver is different on the O.D. than the 8mm case saver. check before you drill anything.

I got it tapped and installed,but the tap was junk.I tapped 1 casesaver and the tap didn't look like it would do too many more.I'd expect better considering I'm tapping aluminum.
