Thanks, already ordered a three tap set from McMaster-Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/121/2521/=y3d1bz You're right, nobody around here had them or had ever heard of 5/16-32. Should be here early next week. In the mean time I'm also waiting on a couple of parkerized 12-24 nuts.....nobody around here has them either...that's what makes this fun. :) ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- These taps are a little hard to find. Try here: http://www.mscdirect.com and type "straight flute taps" into the search box. Select 5/16-32, and then the kind of chamfer you want. You may want the bottoming or modified bottoming since many of these holes don't have much room on the other side. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- The grease fittings are 5/16-32 ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Can someone please let me know what the thread size is for the zerk grease fittings on a '48 125. I would like to buy a couple of taps to clean up the threads for one of the fittings on the forks. Thanks.
