1/2" tap needed

Hi guys

I'm on the scrounge. I need to borrow a plug type 1/2" 26tpi tap for a short while to tap a new hole for the prv inside the timing cover. No point in buying one as I'll likely never use it again. An engineering firm is building up the boss but does not have a suitable tap as apparently it is very unusual.

Would greatly appreciate any help.

Cheers

George

The original, Richard. The ebay seller was very understanding and took his one back on a full refund.

The engineering firm intend to build up the prv boss with an ally weld then re-tap the thread.
