Looks like mcmaster has the left and right taps (for thd cost of my first borns soul). Anyone know if its NS NF or whatever? Also, what chamfer would you recommend, taper (seems too tapered), plug or bottom? My gut says bottom.

They call it a "national special" but that doesn't really matter.

You'll need:

Part# 2595A854 - 11/16x16 RH taper @ $42.25
Part# 2584A911 - 11/16x16 LH taper @ $32.53

A taper tap will help you get it started straight in the hole. It's important that you tape this hole very straight as you'll be going very deep. If it's off in the beginning it will bind up before you finish. Keep in mind you'll be taping this hole the hole length of the tap. Even better, if you have access to a lathe it would assure you make it straight.
