Anyone got a M16x1.5 tap and die?
I need to make a little adjuster. I could buy the part but it is around the same price as the tap and die to make it. Anyone got a M16x1.5 tap and die (or finer - for the imperialists , 5/8", 17tpi or finer) that I could borrow for a couple of threads? (Plan B is single point turning a nut and bolt but that is a lot of work for a once every so often use adjuster)

I do, but the irony is, it would probably be cheaper to buy a set from China and have them post it, then for me to post it to you from Qld...
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

I have an M 16 tap, maybe a die and 5/8 whit tap and die for sure. I am not sure at the moment if any are fine enough. Also dies are 2 inch.

True, but my limited experience of cheap taps and dies suggest that they don't always cut...
Thanks Roger. I've had a couple of other ideas suggested as well so I'll think through and send you a PM. Tapping drill size would be 19/32" or there abouts?
