UNC and UNF taps will be plentiful, it's the BSW, BSF and BA's that you may find hard to get and expensive. Decent quality makes are generally Presto, Dormer and Golliath and even with these it is very much you get what you pay for. These seem good value, but will they last at that price: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... ap-die-set

If you do get a small collection ensure you have some tapping fluid to hand, your taps will then last for ever.

Try www.namrick.co.uk and look at their taps & dies section. You'll get practically any nut or bolt that you'll ever need plus the taps and dies to suit. Recommended.
