Welcome along Peter, lots of good advise on this forum. I cant help with a tap but if you put up your location someone may be close to you.

Peter.

I have a set of taps you could borrow. Where are you? I'm in Stoke On Trent..

If you want to buy them, Tracy Tools have them hidden away in their catalogue but not identified as Myford compatible. Look under 'Whitform' and scroll through till you reach the right one.. Here's a link:

Hi Ian J,

Thanks for the offer, I am in High Wycombe area, I'm not in a rush so if I can't find one locally I'll give you a shout as I may be up that way in February

Hi George,

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look there.

Regards

Peter

Peter, I believe RDG sell them , and I assume they will be at the Alexandra Palace model engineering show in January.

Hi Trevor,

Chronos list them too ( £ 16 cheapest) but none in stock.

It may be cheaper to wait for an old back plate to come up on Ebay and fit it to that.

Regards Peter
