Try Amazon.

You may though find a problem with shipping to Cy, if so try the German Amazon De.

thanks jim,
have already looked at the amazon. selling sites, the die I require is larger than these model kits you buy, so my search continues, I know a plumber will perhaps have the size we need, but 150+ euros,to thread 3 water pipes as I as a lad, used to do this in my engineering employment, I can do myself.

A place where I used to get a lot of my equipment from (Two Places) If you were entering Geroskipou on the old road from the airport There is alocal plumbing DIY shop set back on the right hand side. If he does not have it carry on into Geroskipou, through the set of traffic lights and on the Right hand side is a large Yellow DIY shop. Hope this may help. Finally if no luck there I have seen them for sale at the Duckpond market on a Sunday. Haggle with em if you go there. :D
