Much bigger than I imagined.
A thread restorer that size will be difficult to find.
Looks like your going to have to use a standard tap.
There are three basic types of tap.
they are:
Taper
plug
and bottoming.
You may want to look at the different types to see which one fits your needs the best.
Basically the taper has the first 5-8 cutting edges slightly tapered.
The plug tap has the first 3-5 cutting edges tapered.
Bottoming tap has no taper on the first cutting edges.
