I am having trouble finding a 13/32" x 26tpi tap.
This is the thread size for a Sturmey Archer rear axle.
Anyone know if these are available in the USA?

Ordinarily, someone would tell you the McMaster-Carr part number to look at, but their tap selection webpage doesn't list

Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question. 13/32" x 26 tpi is not a standard size (to my knowledge). Could the size be the more standard metric M10 x 1.0 (25.4 tpi)?
Considering they're British I might have suspected BSC (British Standard Cycle)

That 26 TPI sounds vaguely like it might be a brass thread. They were all

check the CEI link at the top of the page for more cycle threads.
I have seen taps and dies for bicycle threads on Ebay on occasion.
