How much do you want for them?

Also please remember that Japanese bikes tend to use metric fine threads. Especially the 10 &12mm.

So you will really bugger up a thread trying to clean it with a standard metric tap

Ok cheers

Tracy Tools get my vote: www.tracytools.com . Phone them and you'll have it next morning. They do all the imperial stuff too, which is why I use them.

Just buy what you need. Their taps are usually a pair - taper and bottoming.
