My guess

Is a regular tool die would work fine. Sears, and other hardware stores sell them, Being that tools are often made in China these days, costs have been getting progressively cheaper. (Check out Harbor Freight). I buy Sears Craftsman tools because of the lifetime guarantee and because IIRC I paid about $100 for a complete set of taps and dies ( metric and English thread). The dies are available separately, BTW.

Incidentally, as long as you're not moving the component around much, I have simply used RTV silicone caulking compound to glue down the transformer. Just be sure to remember to replace the original bolt when shipping the component.
