Where locally can I pick one up? I tried Home Depot and no luck… I’m tapping for my EGT - The final hole size before I tap needs to be 21/64", then the instructions call to “use the 1/8 NPT Tap”. :gotme: What about that fitting place on Walden? ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/tap.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/tap.jpg) ---

Barrow? Have you been not drinking? As Nick said, when you do get one keep in mind that it is a tapered thread so you only want to run it about halfway in. ---

I knew this would be a common thing… it just baffled me that the 2 reps at Home Depot showed me the taps and there were none with 1/8 NPT. Thanks for the replies, fellas. :headbang:
