Thread Tap And Dye

[cheegar]

Hey long story short thread on rb25 block for oil feed has a bit of a munted thread and i need a 12x1.0 thread tap and dye for the block and the old banjo bolt.

I've tried coventry fasteners, gasweld, total tools and bunnings but no ones got them. If anyones got any reccomendation or could even lend me these two things that'd be great as its the only thing stopping me from getting my car tuned and its killing me.

Cheers, Chris

yeah tried them mate they dont have them.

damn.. that shit must be hard to find then. hope u find them =]

[cheegar]

yeah cheers mate the guy at coventry fasteners reckons because its a bolt for the block the thread is designed for higher vibrations so its gonna be a harder to find POS

R E Tooling in Pooraka will have one or can get you one in.

And don't worry about the Die, get a new bolt. If the thread in the block is stripped you may need to hellicoil it or go a bigger size.

The thread on the block isnt too bad only the first few threads.

Anyways i cbf stressin over this shit ive just booked it in with the thread doctor.

Thanks for the help guys.

CHeers, Chris

last time i got a tap and dye i went to flintware on south rd

..:edit:.. just bothered to read u last post lol

[cheegar]

turns out the banjo bolt from the old turbo and the new turbo kit were both the same size but both somehow wrong and imperial :S

but for future reference the oild feed on an rb25 or all rb's for that matter is a 12x1.25.

Also +1 to thread dr. very good bloke didnt charge me after we couldnt figure out thread size.

Cheers for all the help
