Yes
Yes, you can buy a die if needed and cut the thread yourself on a section of rod. I have the taps on hand but not the dies.

OK just called a specialty tap supplier..91 bucks for the tap!! I think i'll just ask my machinist to do it..should take about 5 min
Yep, I have a few on hand for about $10. I think it's the same size as the a/f screws.
