That's a special tap. That can be real expensive. Try MCMASTER CARR. MSC or do a google search.

I take it by your title, it's for a HS Needle. My only other suggestion would be to contact the engine manufacturers tech and see if they will sell one or provide contact info for their supplier. Good luck on this one !
