Re: can anyone lend some thread taps
I went down the same road, couldn't find anyone. A machine shop can probably do it for you. I got some weld-in bungs from High Country 4x4 and used 1.5" .250 wall tubing.

Use the bungs. Finding those taps is pretty hard. I also looked all over for them and to buy them is not cheap. Just get the bungs and weld them in. I'd try a machine shop or 4x4 shops.

Sounds like a plan. Yeah I went to a couple of machine shops and they didn't even have those taps
