I am having trouble finding a 13/32" x 26tpi tap.

This is the thread size for a Sturmey Archer rear axle.

Anyone know if these are available in the USA?

Ordinarily, someone would tell you the McMaster-Carr part
number to look at, but their tap selection webpage doesn't list
13/32", so maybe that won't happen. If you can't find a tap,
perhaps you could buy some $1 Sturmey Archer 13/32" Axle Nuts
from http://smartbikeparts.com and weld them to whatever
you're trying to attach.

Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question. 13/32" x 26 tpi is not a
standard size (to my knowledge). Could the size be the more standard
metric M10 x 1.0 (25.4 tpi)?

Considering they're British I might have suspected BSC (British Standard
Cycle) http://homepages.tesco.net/~A10bsa/bscbot.htm but that doesn't
appear to include 13/32" unless SA made a special.

That 26 TPI sounds vaguely like it might be a brass thread. They were all
26 TPI

Also check the CEI link at the top of the page for more cycle threads.

I have seen taps and dies for bicycle threads on Ebay on occasion.
