I just bought the bearing guides from carbatec, when I went to fit them this morning I found the bracket was opposite to the original guides.:rolleyes:
I know nothing of metalwork so I need to ask some questions.:confused:
What drill (type) do I need to drill into the cast iron frame, I have HSS twist drills, are these sufficient?
Do I need lubrication, I am thinking a drop of oil?
The bolt is an M6 x 20 with a flat washer, so what size do I drill the hole?
So, When I drill the hole I assume I have to allow for cutting a thread?
What do I use to cut the thread? (I have never done this before)
Where can I get thread cutting tools for metal?
Any other tips?:eek:
I hope someone can answer, Soundman I hope you see this thread as you can recommend local suppliers, I am thinking trade tools?:confused:
Thanks.
