Where are you located buff69, in the States, Europe Australia Etc.? If in the States, True Value hardware carries IRWIN taps. I used a 3mm to do three truck frames and 2 trailer frames and that's power tapping with a hand drill which I wouldn't suggest doing unless your experienced in metal working.
