QUOTE(bandjoey @ May 25 2010, 04:49 PM)  Will a 7mm tap go through without drilling the hole to tap size? If not what's your drill size recommendation? Thanks Clay. I'll call U if my set doesn't have the tap. Metric tap drill calculation is easy. Take the pitch and subtract from the screw diameter. EX: M6 X 1 = tap drill 5mm. M8 X .8 = Tap drill 7.2mm. This works with SAE but is a little more complicated because we specify threads per inch and not the pitch. |

my tap has the drill size etched on it. I am pretty sure that I drilled mine first.

Bill...
The Ace hardware on Hwy 26 near my house carries a LOT of metric nuts and bolts. They have 7mm bolts on the shelf in both regular and stainless. I have the proper tap and drill, and it will take all of 5 minutes to fix. |

I'm going to Ace tomorrow and pick up a couple of bolts. I'll give you a call Clay and come by when you're out working on your cars. I also like the idea of slotting the hinge so I don't have to pull the bolt completely out. It's really tight to tune and sync with the lid/rain tray in the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thanks again for all the suggestions and ideas. THIS is what World is all about!
