MG TD TF 1500 - BSF 5/16 x 22 needed for a few euros
In order to rework some special bolts and nuts in my MG TD, I am loking for a tap and die BSF 5/16 x 22. I could buy new ones overhere in the Netherlands for many euros but actually I want some used ones for a few euro. Anybody out there in UK who has some available? I am willing to send the euro's in advance. Thanks, Huib Bruijstens, Netherlands |

Sounds like the sort of thing you could easily find at a good autojumble for a few euro's. Are there any good autojumbles in Holland worth visiting from the UK. |

If they are too expensive in Holland why don't you check out the price of new ones in the UK. Frankly, I think it is a waste of time buying secondhand worn taps and dies just to save a few Euros Harry |

Huib, As real mean Dutch bastard (the Dutch are worse than the Scottish when it comes to spending money) it was a nice try! If you don't succeed this way, try: http://www.es-international.nl . Under the TOOLS-section they also list reasonably priced taps and dies. Maybe they can help you? |

Thanks Harry and Willem for your support. Harry: any addresses in UK for me? ( by the way: most of these taps and dies never get worn because they are only used a few times ). Willem: ES has lovely sets with many taps and dies in it and normally no singles |

Well Huib, you lucky sod... ask for one tap and die and end up with a complete company !!!! Now this is really doing business the Dutch way ! Don't expect they will sell you the entire company "for a few euro's" though.......8^) Op je gezondheid.... Cheers, Nick 52TD/63midget. |

Nick with the exchange rate I think you could offer a few euros for the company... http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi Ik hoop dat je goede zaken doet. |

I found THE treasure!!! Exactly as it should be! At a local dumpshop "van de Biggelaar in Gemert" in the back of a shed in a big box was a beautiful collection of BSF taps and dies. Some searching and dust removing delivered a complete set up to 5/8" in fine condition for only 12 euro's. Thanks for all suggestions, Huib |

Err, Huib, did van der Biggelaar have some more? If he did I'd like to have his adress or maybe if you live closer you can assemble another set and send/sell it to me? It's very rare to find these particular old english threads in metric Holland, congratulations! |
