    When you guys tap them, do you usually have to drill some before using a 5/16 tap?

    Also, do you usually reuse the same bushing if you didn’t drill/tap all the way through?

    I personally have never had to drill before tapping. I also use the same bushing over as I do not go too far into it. Probably wouldn’t matter anyway as long as the O-ring does not get cut.
