2.2mm taps are available from McMaster-Carr. The correct drill bit size is 1.75mm (0.0688"). taps | McMaster-Carr

RichD has it right...

McMaster-Carr (mcmaster.com) has been a favorite source for tools and supplies for decades. They carry -- no joke -- 550,000 items! Comprehensive is not the word. Just this week I purchased from them eight Wiha brand screwdrivers and hex drivers, plus some 18-8 stainless steel fasteners.

A long, long time ago I was surprised and delighted to find one of their big, heavy yellow catalogs had been delivered to my home. I felt I had arrived! It was the same rush I got as a kid when the Sears Christmas catalog got delivered.

I don't get those catalogs anymore. I don't know if they still print them. Online is the thing now. Super convenient. Very often stuff I order one day shows up the next.

If you have never heard of them, go check them out. You will be amazed.
