Has anyone got a 12 x 1.25 tap and die set I could borrow plleeaasse. Tried to buy one over the weekend and couldn't So if someone could help that would be great. Cheers Dave
Cheers Jasper, what it was was when I had my frame/swingarm powdercoated they forgot to cover the holes for the pinch bolts and I need to clean them out. Thanks anyway
Sorry Dave, Haven't got a tap that size bit rare as ISO standard is M12 with a 1.75mm pitch, metric fine is with a 1.5mm pitch so 1.25mm is ultra fine pitch. Possibly the same as some spark plugs, maybe worth checking to see if a plug thread chasing tool will do the job.
Or make a tap with anbolt the same thread, cut some longitudional slots in the thread, to cut the paint away. Have got out of trouble by this method myself in the past.
