Great for kitless beginners who don't want to make a big investment. Like new. Sold as one lot. You will need all of these for cap, and body, you will still need a tap for either Bock or Jowo.
U.S. only.

M11 x.75 Die in holder. $15.00
M11 x .75 Tap (bottom) $10.00
M14 x 1 Die in holder $20.00
M14 x Tap (bottom) $15.00
+ shipping $12.00

Hi . Are the M14 "s 3 start ? Kindly indicate . I am from India and can ask one of my friends in US to pay and you could ship it to him. Is this size good for BOCK 8 ? I currently do only Bock 6 pens .

These are single start, great for getting started. Makes a larger pen, but less expensive than triple start.

I would like to add that this tap and die set is not only for beginners. Some prefer this size thread as it is a cleaner more robust thread. Jason Miller, a pen maker with years of experience uses them, because he likes the more robust/sturdy thread. His pens are well made and impeccably crafted.

The reason many switch over to 13mm is that they are trying to lessen the number of turns to close the cap. So, keep in mind you could choose to use this tap and die set from here on out, it's a personal preference.
 
I didn't know anything about 13 or 14 . Just saw some videos and simply copied the idea . It's a fact that 13 and the fine pitch of 0.8 is always a challenge and the section remains the most vulnerable . I invested 250 bucks for M13x.8 tap and die from Tapco directly. Let me think over and revert to you . You have a PayPal or I need to ask my us friend to pay you in case in case I wish to go ahead ?

I do have PayPal, just let me know if you decide.
 
Just another query pls .. I do size 6 Bock in my current size . Will the 14 suit size 6 or do I need to switch to a bigger size 8 ish ? Appreciate that I am just about 10 pens young into the hobby . Regds
 
These tap and die will create the threads you need for your cap, and the threads for the section to thread onto the body. You would use the Bock tap you have for your section.

If Sri Pens passes on these I am interested. I have been looking for an economical way to get my feet wet with kitless and this might work for me.
