Thx guys!
Tomorrow I'm going to the flea market, I hope that guy I was buying mill bits from will be there (buyed several times professional mill bits for 1 Euro/piece...maybe he'll have a whole mill for 50 Euro sometimes...
). He had some other tools on the table, but I was too eager picking the mill bits so I didn't look what else he has.
Good thing that flea market, bought one papst 80 mm and one panaflo 80 mm fans for dirt cheap, and in the stores I can find only Sunon, nothing else...
I'll have to get me an amex card and get used to search on Ebay...yeah, good idea...
The thread on the barbs is 16.5 mm, 3/8 thread. Finding the 14 - 15 mm drill bit would be easy, but must look some more for those tappers. The problem is if the guy in hydraulics shop cannot make me barbs with metric thread (I think he done it on machine, not manually), than I'm stuck with this 3/8. Dunno...
Anyway, today afternoon I left my block in the machine shop to thread me those three damn holes for barbs. I'm picking it up tomorrow afternoon... It won't be as I made it from a to z, but for now and for 115 Euro less, it will do...

yeah, sad but true...you should make a keychain with it as a reminder...I wanted to make it with my spoiled-two tappers broken-half of the block, but it's waaaay to heavy....
...God forbid dropping it on a toe...
