tapping my frame

[Gregg]

Well I just ran about twenty M3x.05 screws in 1/8 holes with plenty of meat left.
That is the bit size that was recommended by the hardwhare supplier and they even supplied me with a free drill bit and tap for those screws.

thats funny cause , 3 mm is .1181" and 1/8" is .125 not much meat left for threading . I use .125 (1/8) for my through holes for 3 mm .

AAHHHH!! Too many numbers and fractions and .....

I didnt drill the holes myself, it was done for me, I am pretty sure it is all the same size holes as the stock KH. Ima just find a tap that fits just snug enough to tap em and go from there. If I screw one up, I can just nut the back of it and keep learning..
