This guy has 8/40 and maybe the same stuff you looking for,

Else, visit your local engineer shop, usually, they are helpful and you can swap if you bought the wrong stuff.

Depends on how many threads you planning to do or how much you want to spend
I would start with just tapper or starting tap.

Thanks,
I will tapping four holes in aluminium. I will grab that one you have linked, but will need the 1st tap and a bottoming tap too.
