I wondered how you broke a tap in ALMINUM !!! ???
Ok you can send them to me . No problem fixing the busted tap . Will
have them back to you in less than a week.
Email me for my address.

 The ones that I have are custom made short and straight, and are
constructed of stainless steel. (I'll take a picture and email to those
who might want to see.) They were made this way because the stock ones
curved in and I think the carbs or filter pods interfered with the frame
or the battery. (Ask Paul Linn about how the frame is chopped) Now that
I am using a stock frame, I will no longer have a clearance problem.
I've tried to knock the tap out using a punch and tapping it back out,
but it broke off with a piece sticking up on one side and I can't get a
good spot to hit.
I've just finished setting up my big vise, so i'll give it another try
to punch it through.
