Does anyone know where I can find a 5mm x .5 die or of a supplier of super fine thread fasteners?
Thanks.

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.

Thanks.
Believe it not not... your local Ace hardware should have these! I had to find some really strange taps and no ****.. they had a HUGE selection. On a side note, they also carry very small Torx and security bits... like those needed to remove the "butterflies" in a TPI throttle body.

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!
