Hello good people.

Could anyone direct me or recommend a UK webshop or supplier of a thread tap of 1/2" 24 tpi UNS ( not straight out UNF) size?

A collegue has a Norwegian made motorbike from the fifties with a "british hub" wheel hub that need threads. Not so easy to get obscure impreial thread sizes here in the metric world.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI had to look UNS up (Unified Special Thread) as I haven't seen that one before.

I have bought imperial taps from eBay before, but a search for this showed a couple of companies, including Amazon (£17.39)

or eBay (£6.61)


Is it a right or left hand thread, apparently UNS was available in both?

Thanks, but I prefer to buy stuff from actual european based companies to support real workers that actually get paid when possible.
I will not to buy from mainland China if i can choose not to.

I found www.tracytools.com/ family buisness in London.
(they may buy their stuff from china of course but still...)
Was alot of registration to buy there, but we can do that.

Any other recommendations?
