Jack,

glow plugs have 1/4-32 threads . Can be a bit hard to find.

I tried the Mcmaster link with no luck. I think Harry Higley sells the tap and die,


Jimmy

If you remove the "." at the end of the link it will work.

FYI

I must ask. Why do you need the die if you are going to tap the hole?

No he doen't want the die. When he gets the PRICE of the tap it will KILL him.


.............................. "buy a tap and die" get it ?

Then they can play TAPS for him . In that case it's DIE and TAPS !

Hey! I thought it was funny.

It's good to have a die to correct poor threads on the glowplugs before you screw 'em into your engines. Most stripped glow plug holes are caused by poor threads on the glow plug.
