Hey guys, in order to sort out this bastard bike of mine i need to either get hold of an adapter for a compression tester (12mm plughole to a 14mm threaded adapter) or more likely somewhere i can get hold of a tap (as in tap & dye) for a 14mm spark plug to hack up my own adapter. Ive gotten hold of a tap & dye set but have been having a bastard of an idea getting hold of a specific tap for this 14mm plug.

Any ideas on places to try within the sydney region? looking with the yellow pages isn't a help as i haven't a fricking clue what to search under (and its shit at the best of times).

Failing all this i might just go to sutton tools directly and find out who retail sells their kit close to home.

bunnings?

tried bunnings last night, unfortinately the only ones they have are up to 8mm or so.
Might go hunting about to see if theres a snapon franchise near me or something.

Found a place, rocket industries, that have an adapter for a specific compression tester so hopefully i wont have to use the bastardised spark plug setup i had tried to hack together. If i get this, in the worst case scenario i could always try and "make tha bastage fit"

I've never had trouble finding a lot of tools in Sydney, they're everywhere

Mike..Rocket are OK...I bought a Gilmer belt for my race car from them

the place you should be able to get this sorta thing is an auto tool shop
..or maybe an AllTools/Total Tools...maybe Bursons (they in Synney?)

or maybe these guys (see motorcycle stuff)
