Who's in for splitting a tap? Or I'll buy it and tap your tierod's for a small fee, maybe that would work better.

I dont see a shared tap working welll so if you buy it and I decide to not go inserts, you can tap my hole.

cuz it's tiny

actually, i couldn't just make a pole with 1 choice, hence the whole pole thing...

Anyways, lets just say I buy the tap and do it. I also have access to a right hand tap.

It's poll. Pole is the thing you smoke when I come to visit.

price goes down as quantity goes up on that site though. Maybe this guy would get cheaper if we did a group buy?

why not take the pollock's advice and get pipe?
1 1/4" sch xx OD=1.660, .382 wall. You can turn the ID out to 1" for inserts...
what ID do you need for that tap?

Doug Krebs
