Anyone have taps?

Post by Justin »

This may be a long shot, but does anyone have a set on 7/8x18 left and right hand taps that I could use? I've mostly decided to go with DOM tube and chevy rod ends for my new steering linkage but don't want to spend $150 on taps to do it just yet. Plan to later, but want to get the Bronco on the road.

Thanks! I'd appreciate it. I'd be happy to bring the tube to you once I have it as well. I'm off on paternity leave at the moment and my wife is doing well, so running out for a couple of house isn't a big deal.

Where do you live and I can either drop it by your house or meet you somewhere mutually convenient if we do have them.

Justin, Bad news on the taps. I checked our machine shop and only found 7/8-9. I checked our model shop and they didn't have any 7/8 taps. Sorry I couldn't help you. Have you considered taking your tubing to a machine shop and having them thread it versus buying taps?

No sweat, I appreciate you checking. I'll likely have a machine shop do it this time around, but might invest in the R hand threaded tap so that I can shorten them at home if needed.
