Try McMaster-Carr.com

Not sure if they have left handed dies, but I believe they carry thread files. You may be able to dress it down with a thread file. Or do a search on thread files.

Any machine shop should be able to cut a left hand thread on their lathe.

The thread file is priceless, go figure, it works left or right and comes with 8 different thread pitches. http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/kas2670.html

indeed. Cost would be more than a die-cut...but should be able to be done in a short time...no waiting. Must be lazy machinist.
