[QUOTE="phlegm, post: 94354, member: 12227"] This morning I had some major plumbing issues at the house, so while those guys took care of the dirty business, I got busy making progress on my adapter plate. The 5/16 tap called for an "F" bit, but I ain't that fancy so I used a few drill bits and ended at a .25" Then used a 7mm wrench on the square part of the tap.
