in my search for a hard to find metric fitting for my Engine conversion
project I stumbled upon.
Maryland Metric  http://mdmetric.com

after browsing thru their extensive website (but still not able to find
a M8x1.0 (fine) X (anything I can get a 1/4 or 1/8 NPT onto)  brass
adapter I still haven't found it but am anticipating a reply from their
technical help mail.

it appears it's worth a bookmark, (imho)

I have no afiliation or interest in their financial success, I'm just
passing along information for rare Metric fittings and taps/tools.
hopefully i'll be able to report more once they get back to me on a more
difficult metric fitting.

FWIW i'm also checking to see if King Dick brand tools has T-shirts
8-)
