New start

[Nr1madman]

look on it as a learning curve and not a frustration

You are correct as always :D
I have calmed down, bought a new tap and ready for new holes hehe

could be worse, could have snapped off flush with the hole....

Well.. what do you mean? I did just that? There will be no getting the old tap out and will have to skip a bolt in that hole?

ah when you said ready for new holes with the new tap I thought your problem was solved so assumed the old tap was extracted!

Shame it's all steel, you could have dissolved the old tap if it was stuck in aluminium. I don't suppose you have suitable welding equipment to Tig weld something to the top of the tap?


edit - oooh, useful if it's a straight flute tap http://www.waltontools.com/products/remvtap.htm

double edit - some ideas here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZsjj7pqBXc

triple edit - cromwell have a nice selection of tap extractors https://www.cromwell.co.uk/shop/hand...ctors/03020107

I had a look at similar tapextractors today but they were only for standard taps with 4 straight grooves. My tap is the spiral kind..
So no go on the extraction ;)
Only have a stick welder right now and it's not really a good idea with the epoxy already applied :D
But I think it will be okey in the end anyway!
