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.
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
That's what this place is for

Thanks Sean!!
oh, yeah, what is the thread size for the rack rod ends nut, or would a motor factor be able to provide me with them if i ask for ford sierra ones?
