The mcmasters link doesn't work and 80 is a little pricey. Any one find anything cheaper?

edit: found the part but $25 for a tap that I may use once? I was all exicted because I found a temp sensor for the fan where I can just tap the coolant output screw it in wire it up and get accurate readings and not have to fit it in the radiator. Would a self tapping screw with the same thread and pitch work? If I get this all done I'll try and do a writeup.

I bought a metric tap set from Schuck's that wasn't too expensive. I don't remember what sizes were included.
