Online source for 3.0mm X .35mm tap?

Hi All,

 

I have tried to install a 7030 Clark tube on my vietnam case and it snapped off inside. I was lucky enough to get the broken piece out but I still need to install a new tube. Can anyone lead me to a online source where I can purchase this? I am local to Ofrei but I can not seem to find it on their website (or I am queuery-ing it wrong)

 

Heck if someone can loan me one I can send it right back. I'll pay for shipping both ways of course...

 

Thanks in advance!

Free advice:

Don't get robbed by a watch parts supply house unless you are in a hurry.

 

Look in the phone directory and see if there is a tool, bolt and screw specialty store in town and call them about the taps.  I bought the taps 5 for $25 from a tool/screw shop.  They were PRO-CUT brand, very good quality.

If I bought 25, they were $4 each.  Five was enough...

 

 

Amazon also has 3.0 x .35mm tap sets for $21.30, free delivery.  "Includes 1 each: Taper, Plug & Bottoming Tap."

Here they are for less than $4 each including delivery: 

 

eBay item number  231977555390

 

 

Here is an explanation of the different types of taps:

'Plug Tap' is usually the type needed.
