thread tap for straight -an fittings Looking for a tap for my home made fuel rails. I want to put -8an straight o-ring fittings in the ends, where can I find a tap? Rails have a 11/16" I.D.
I already looked at grainger and mcmaster, no luck though maybe I missed it.
Thanks

Look again, I just went through this myself 2-3 month's ago. They will not say anything about AN on the listing.
They will be listed as size & thread. My crew chief is at work, if you can't find, I will call & find where he got ours.
I thought he said mcmaster??

Issue also will be getting a good machined edge of proper diameter for the 0-rings to seal properly
why not tap to a NPT thread and use a NPT to -8AN adapter

J514 37° or straight thread have the tap sizes.
They do make ORB port cutters to deal with the o-ring sealing surface. But for the average garage racer, NPTF is the easier way to go
