No luck at either of those places. However, I did find one at J&L Industrial Supply. It's an adjustable die for about $10.00.

I tried Ace Hardware and Howard Brothers Hardware, the two best hardware stores in my area, and they didn't have any that fine.
I ended up finding several dies after searching and searching. MSC, J&L, and Rutland tool have them. I got a M5x100 part thread allen bolt, cut off the threads and re-threaded it with the 5x.5 die. Worked like a charm.
I just have to make some fuel lines, do a little welding, paint and this project will be finished!
