[QUOTE=Style;8289883]bump.. and hijack, but what does re tap the hole mean?

QUOTE]


When you drill the bolt out, you'll knacker the thread in the frame. Tapping means to cut another thread into the frame, bearing in mind (obviously) the new threaded hole is going to be larger than before. And if you've never done it before it's a right chunt to do properly. The other way to do it is to get a threaded insert for the hole.

** IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN TAPPING - 1/2 turn clockwise, 1/4 turn back **
