    Hi,

    I'm working on a vintage Toyota Landcruiser over the Christmas and urgently require an M12 x 1.25 fine pitch die to thread some bolts as part of the restoration.

    The reason it's urgent is I can't reassemble until it's threaded (for space reasons).

    I know they can be got on ebay etc, but I was wondering does anyone know where I'd get one (bricks and mortar) / borrow one?

    Thanks
    Corglass

    not really, too far to travel.

    I was kinda hoping for a place like Woodies / Halford / Homebase etc. but I tried all their websites and found nothing. Halfords do have a metric tap set, but the dies are all 12 x 1.75 or 12 x 1.5.

    Still looking so . . .:o

    I had a look at my selection and closest I have is M12 X 1.75. That size will be fairly hard to find by itself in any shop in this country I would think, unless you get it as part of a kit.

    What's the cruiser. Is it an FJ40, would love to see a few pics.

    Thanks Lex. I'm really hoping I get sorted before then. But if not, that's a very kind offer.

    Still searching . . .

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
