Andy W.,
This round split die is close (see link below), perhaps it could be 'expanded' (or adjusted?) to the correct diameter, I believe the thread pitch (or '40' threads per inch) is correct ..... what do you think? The price is right too maybe?

Thanks Injunnut and the same source which classicalgas has also referred me to has the tap real, super cheap. Under 6 bucks,, I paid nearly 30 dollars CA for mine. This one isn't a bottoming but a little grinding would take care of that. Neat.

And for the die, I'm going to check with my contact at "Cox" tomorrow and get the exact thread size.
