LR/RR steering rods are 11/16" x 16tpi NS, left hand and right hand. I have both taps and dies in right and left hand available exstock. Taps are intermediate lead, and the dies are 1 1/2" diameter. Both taps and dies are High Speed Steel. Taps $16 RH, $30 LH, dies are $20 RH, $35 LH. Plusd postage.

Brian - the taps I got from you are:
11/16-16NS (right hand thread) and
11/16-16NC (left hand thread)
