It's a castellated nut.

I'm fitting new track rod ends and they have come with a nyloc nut instead.

Dunno about a generic tap and die set, but they are always useful to have.
Cheap ones are generally sh1t, but if you only use them once in a blue moon....
I have a complete 3 piece tap set, plus the die for M14x2 (track rod ends) because I turned my own adjusters. It was a cheapy from the fleabay but has done the job fine
I also have a half decent (£60) set of taps and dies for more normal sized stuff.

I might turn my own bushes later on when i have access to a lathe, but if they are very cheap ill just buy em. Thanks!

No idea on MC, haven't got that far yet.
I used PTFE (teflon) bar for the bushes in my pedals (turned myself) Just search fleabay for PTFE rod
