12mm bottoming tap- Source ??

This method works well, I use a die grinder with a 1/16 thick wheel and cut two or three slots at a right angle to threads. I have a whole set of "modified" metric bolts that I use for this purpose. Spray some PB Blaster in the holes a little before hand and the crud comes right out.Also have slotted a couple of spark plugs that do a fine job of cleaning up plug threads. Good luck,rcs
