Hi Dave,
The drill and tap are not normally supplied in the kit. I do not think there is
a
substitute to going out too your friendly neighborhood machine tool supply
store.
Alternatively try WholesaleTool at
https://www.wttool.com/wtool/product.asp?dept%5Fid=10570&pf%5Fid=03520002p&sdept%5Fid=40%2C635%2C10570
Item # 0352-0031 , a 5 mm x 0.8 tap, sells for the princely sum of $0.30 .
WT Tools and J&L Industrial Supply at http://www.jandlindustrial.com/ both have
substantial catalogs of machine tools and related items.
Cheers, John
