Default having a hard time finding thread chasers

Need a 11x1.5 and a 10x1.5mm chaser, the only ones I can find are ARPs... at the seemingly outlandish price of $46 each (considering the same size tap is $18).... wondering if I can find any place that has them for less because they arent ARP brand.... have no problem finding them in standard sizes, metrics are a pain, Checked mcmaster, MSC, fastenal, etc....

so I can just run a tap down it? I was under the impression not to, so as to not cut anything else out of the threads.

A chaser would be best, as its designed to reform the existing threads, and not cut any of the old thread away, but a tap will work, so long as the threads aren't really messed up.

You could call http://www.qualitychaser.com/, I don't think they sell it, but they might be able to point you in the correct direction.

:edit: Try this list of places

if you don't want to use tap or die, use this restore kit from sears:
