[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1090250, member: 1290"] I made a .001" slip fit collar / guide to slide over the smooth outboard spindle. I left it 1/2" thick and taped it using a rotary table on the mill. I drilled down through the guide with a mag drill sitting op top of the gearbox. Then the threads worked as a tap guide to keep the tap running true. I then left the collar in pace to give me additional strength otherwise it only takes very little pressure to distort the spindle tube and wear the precious spindle bearing unevenly. All done my nearly sharpened brass tip screws meet perfectly across from each other. It looks very factory. [/QUOTE]
