Dave1647545494 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have an 18mm tap you can borrow however I don't know you so either somebody I know has to tell me your alright or you'll need to leave some kind of colateral (its a really expensive tap) I'm at ntb downtown m-f from 8a-6p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just grab someone's 18x1.5 or pick up a rethreader at Sears or a parts store. Lisle makes the one specifically for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
