total tools will stock a lot of dies and taps. inters, bottoms and tapers.

lucky for you its only paint... ever since i tapped mine and my wheel nuts to get rid of burs.... nothing but problems.

cool I have jsut tools walking distance from work will try them, even though the website says no.

and there a total tools near home so will hit that up on the way home, once again even tho the site says no..

re the acetone was going to flush with that (well the missus nail polish remover), prior to running the tap through figured should be like butter then.

teach me a lesson for buying gktech nuts, but were the only open end ones I could find online.

admittedly that was 6 months or so ago.

Nail Polish remover is usually acetone free nowadays.. Don't ask me how I know.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
