....Too many braincells hitting the bug light these days.......Love this term!!! btdt ....now I know what to call it!
I also have another adaptation Lateral thought evaded me on. I designed and had the parts built for a harness rack for my horses harness. But the Welder that built it put the wrong diameter hole in the parts..... I tried drilling them out but the materials were work hardened broke the drill besides i didnt have a drill press and a clamping mechanism to do it right. The deal is I asked for pipe with a disk tack welded inside the edge at a distance of about one inch. And I wanted a pilot for a quarter inch screw thread. i had already bought the hand tap to tap the hole. Parts came I was deligted.... Till I measured it and it was a quarter inch.... Too big even for a quarter inch tap..... Broke the tap Broke two drill bits trying to get it larger for the next sized tap..... Got a triangular hole.... A machineshop could have fixed it but they wanted ten bucks per hole.... I had ten parts... and already spent my money.
So project shelved. But now doing this little exercise I know the way to go to finish out the project. If I can set a plug in deep enough to mimic the original design I can use them to anchor my harness rack pipes. I need to find my stash at the house...

go to 5/16-18? Buy the tap and drill and a can of cutting fluid(essential-HUGE difference!)....go s l o w on drill speed...good luck when you get back to it.
I will I know they come in sets I can buy at harbor freight..... I need a good bench clamp to do it..... something that will let me go straight down.... for more stability. Or just bite the bullet and buy a drill press. I have a bunch of uses for one.
There is still the issue of the one pipe that has the half tap stuck in the hole.... I cant drill it out and if I could the hole would be too mangled so I will use the rubber insert. On the other end....
It would be soo nice to have my harness hung the proper way instead of on hooks in one big ball. Lets the leather dry after use and keeps the straps straight....
