Looking for British BA tap/die set, BA 0-10.

I bought my BA taps and dies from Amazon of all places but they are sharp and work well somewhat surprisingly, or its because I've only used them in brass to date. They are branded ALPS (made in India I believe)
Amazon tap and die set BA 0-12
Otherwise you are likely going to be sourcing from the UK - I've ordered a few oddball ME taps and dies from these guys, but a full BA set will be near double the Amazon price.

Similar set from Amazon U.S. for a lot less (above set also available for same price as Amazon.ca):
0 - 10 instead of 0 - 12
0 - 10 instead of 0 - 12

I located a few sources for BA threading tools but then went a different direction so I haven't actually ordered from them:

I bought what appears to be that same set but I don't remember where I bought it from (likely Amazon). I actually haven't tried to cut any threads with it but I can tell you the quality of them looks atrociusly bad all the way around. They "might" cut satisfactorily but I don't have high hopes.
