Subject: [CR] Tapping a Raleigh bottom bracket


I have a Raleigh Sports with a stripped bottom bracket shell. I'm planning on having Spectrum Cycles weld a new sleeve and re-thread the bottom bracket, but they don't have the right tap (1 3/8 x 26tpi). Does anyone know where I can get the proper tap? I know I could upgrade it to modern standards, but i would really like to keep it original.
