i started drilling and tapping for 3 more (need one of them so i have a set for the Tiger 1) motor/trany units last night, and on the second hole i was just about to finish tapping SNAP! i was just starting to back the tap out when it broke. i wasn't even putting any force behind it it's not like i had it cranked tightly into the hole or anything, it just snapped as i started to back it out. lucky for me, i had a spare and did a few (3) more last night before i called it quits. this time when i was threading the hole, i made sure i was drilling them a bit deeper (didn't want to chance bottoming out the tap) and only turn it about 3/4 of a turn once i felt it start to bite. after i get the hosing bolted together, i'm going to start drilling for the motor and the bolts to hold it in place along with holes for the bushings for the shafts for the sprockets Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html)
