Source for Tap for Pelikan M800 Nib Unit

[Carrau]

I ordered a an 11/32 x36 Tap for a Pelikan M800 nib unit from Silverpenparts last week, but they may be out of stock and may not carry this any longer.  Can anyone here recommend any other sources for this tap?  Thank you.

That thread is proprietary to Pelikan so you will have to get a tap made and it isn't cheap. Tapco will make them if you want to explore that option. 

 

Your other option is to get ahold of one of the International Association of Penturners (IAP) members by the forum name of jick wu. You'll have to join to be able to start a conversation/message with him. He is Chinese and has had made and sold triple start taps and dies along with Bock and Jowo nib taps. He might be interested in making some Pelikan taps to sell. They will cost a lot less than having the tap made domestically.

Thanks Pete.  TAPCO had made them for Silverpenparts in the past, but that size is not listed in their current catalog.  I’m waiting on a reply from them to see if they have any gathering dust, otherwise I will look further into your other suggestion, and any others suggested here.

it may be a longshot but I'd try martini auctions in germany.  she carries a lot of pelikan parts and pens.

I might have a 11/32 36tpi tap that I can sell. It's E-Taps made IIRC, pls contact me via the email ID in my signature so that I can send you a pic of it. I am located in India.

Thank you, hari317 and MHBru  for your suggestions. I’m still waiting on Tapco’s response, and will proceed from there.

I am more used to metric, and for M800, 11/32 x 36 tpi means M8.75 x .75, very close to M9 x .75 (drilling at 8.1) which is very easy to find, and much cheaper. I think @fountainbel wrote something about it here.

I believe Dr. Laurence Oldfield makes custom taps. You might try him too.

Thanks again for the additional suggestions.  Is Dr. Oldfield a member here?
