[QUOTE="The-Boss, post: 513171, member: 1305"] Same here. Don't remember the brand but I have a couple nice taps I bought from Enco and have used them for just that on about 4 rigs with steel bungs, as well as drilled and tapped a few 7075 links with them. I found the only time they were loose after is if I didn't put enough cutting fluid in while taping. Another trick I have heard is taking an old heim and cutting some of the threads off down the shank. This will give the heim threads a cutting edge like a tap. Never had to try it but would in a pinch or if I didn't have good taps. [/QUOTE]
