    Hi,
    You have already stated part of the answer. You need a 10mm tap; the pitch is what you also need to know. There are five different pitches possible of which only two are common. You may wish to investigate a thread replacement kit that includes appropriate drill bit, tap, insertion tool and inserts. Commonly available at most NAPA stores.
    Peace,
