try a machine shop its not easy to find one i had to buy a m20 reverse thread for a prop shaft and it cost £42 a machine shop may loan you one if you
give them say £50 and you can get it back when you return it.

Try Tracy Tools. They'll sell you a cheap-ish carbon steel tap - their price is usually +100% over the
standard left-hand thread. You'll probably have to ring them.
They deliver VERY quickly - return of post.
