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

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...

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
Huib Bruijstens

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!
