    quote George Emmanuel:

    Bob,

    Ace hardware sometimes carries a #2 screw. You might have to tap the hole. If you use a #2 tap, use extreme caution because it can snap off easily. Make sure you use a thread-cutting lubricant and don’t take long turns.

    George

    Very true words spoken there George. In all my years in the shop; we only purchased Butterfields. Cheap taps are very brittle, especially in those very small sizes.
