If all else fails MSC, and others, have a tap.

11/16-11 is a UNS size and only appears on some of the threading charts I 
have.  One chart even shows 11/16-16 UNS but not 11/16-11, I believe the S 
stands for special so I would guess it is not very common.

The tap drill for a 11/16-11 tap is 19/32.
