Recently had to re-tap my Al-Ko Wheel Secure receiver due to accidentally cross threading it

Al-Ko Send you out a tapper to do this FOC, but take a £40 deposit just in case you think about not sending it back.

I fancy having a tapper in my caravan toolbox, just in case it happens again and wondered where to get it from

It would need to be exactly the same as what al-ko have sent to match up threads, as i don't want to be cutting the wrong sized thread or the bolt wouldn't match etc etc

I haven't a clue on this stuff

the case Al-ko sent says M20X2.5 HSS ISO-6H TAP

Any (Constructive) advice appreciated  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Bottom, Second, Taper determine the bluntness of the tap

blind hole? use a bottom tap

through hole use a second tap

new hole use a taper then a second then a bottom


but you are not repairing the threads with this tool just cleaning out the damage, cross thread it again and the thread might be terminally damaged in that case you will need this website http://www.hotels.co.uk/ easy peasy At work

Looking at the box it came in its says second on it, i presume its a 'second' one you mention


the thread starts blunt and flat, then starts to get pointed & sharp a little further up, (about 5 threads up) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Show us a pic and we can tell you what it is  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

if it fits in your ear with three or four taps with a lump hammer then it is the correct one  At work

the anwser is in the number its a m20 metric but dont know about 2.5 must be thread size but m20 is quite common 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,

The 2.5 (2.5mm) is the pitch between the threads so it's quite a coarse thread by the sounds of it.

All ammunition about the dangers and pitfalls of vanning gratefully received It all helps keep Mrs G's vanning ideas at bay. I cant wait until I tell her I would need a couple of the vans kitchen cupboards to store essential tools. Oh and she would need to take plenty of swarfega and hand towels so I could wash up after mending the van yet again

No tool box needed when I go here later this month. http://www.coquetcottages.co.uk/index.php/...pmjOeGyZMb At work
