Tap Extension
Anyone know where I might get a tap extension piece, I need to tap a hole but need the tap to be longer as it's in an awkward position.
If not then anyone know if you can get square sockets that would fit the end of a tap.
ta,
Rich.

a long reach tap wrench is probably more available, but not sure if this will be able to get you into the awkward position.
RS do
long reach
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not

Depending on the size of the tap. I've sometimes used an extension bar, from a 1/4" or 3/8" drive socket set

I have in the past used a 1/4" drive socket to fit onto the tap square drive then used a long bolt to fit the socket, with a pair of nuts locked
onto the other end of the bolt thread and turned it with another socket.
BTW congrats on getting your engine running
