    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Nice explaination. What size screw are you using? I'm assuming you are not tapping the holes?
 
That's what I did. Not in a nice shop with such a clean table.
:-\\\

LOL...the wind was doing about 40 here this afternoon so I recommended we do it in my dining room. Course what surprised me was that Cdnoel rode his bike out to my place. Although I asked him to so I could see it, I didn't think he would with the weather we had today. I will say he's got a great looking bike; I hope mine can look that good when I am done with it.

You still working out in the back yard under the trees for shade Bill.
That's God's workshop.

1/8 drill bit and 6/32 screw.

1/8 drill bit and 6/32 screw.

It's a 6/32 screw and a 1/8 drill bit. Fit's nice without any taping but the taper on the thread helps get it started. It's defenitely a shade tree job but I've done four now and they all worked out fine.

I've replaced carbs on my own bike with less damage but found reason to save others with more damage. Just depends on if you can find one or if you have the time to.

I think a 4mm screw with taped threads would be an improvment but most taps have a sharp point that would bottom out or not start at all on a hole this shallow.
 
I am totally trying this tomorrow! Mine just broke this evening - so choked.. Will definitely be supporting the other side of the posts from now on. I didn't realize they'd be so stiff coming out; my Kawi KZ had circlips on the outside and the pins just slid out.
