    Any one know the best place to buy a 13mm tap

    I have one engine mount bolt on the passenger side mount that needs to be rethread, where can I buy a 13 mm starter tap.

    Thanks

    LOL at paying 13.80 for a non brand name 13mm tap.


    OP, i don't understand your situation. Where is there a 13mm bolt used in the engine compartment? That is a very odd size.

      13mm hardware is used throughout our cars...

        Hey. he asked best place where. Nothing more.
        I just did a 10 second google search. If it were me, I'd hop down to Northwest tool. Or Vortex tooling.

        So LOLing at the non-name brand tap, feel free. I'll join ya ;)

          13 mm hex head does not mean 13mm bolt. You're looking for 8x1.25. Get it at sears.

            It's nothing against you, I just got a chuckle out of the price. I can buy a premium, coated OSG hand tap for less than that.

            After reading your post, I now understand the OP's problem. He needs an M8 X 1.25mm tap.

              The tap is for the engine mount bolt m8x 16 with 13mm head.
              Thanks for all your help
              Sears doesn't have, I think I may have to by a kit.
