If you prefer, you can drill a hole in the frame for the overtravel screw. Here is where you can get the drill bit for it... You will also need a 4-40 Tap

Thanks for all the support ichy_trigger. But I DO NOT tap the hole in the plastic, when installing the screw in the frame. I let the screw cut it's own threads in the plastic. This will give you 100% thread contact instead of the 75% that you get with a taped hole. The result is a much tighter fitting screw.

wow that is a drill bit

What kind of drill did you use? Can you post a pic of how you drilled the frame? With my drill, it's almost at a 45 degree angle.

Fastsc92 · 03-07-2008, 11:42 PM

I used a normal drill, and a normal length bit. I center punched the hole first to help start the drill bit, and just drilled very slowly. The hole isn't 90* to that face, but its tilted around a 15* angle. Not really a big deal. When the bar comes in contact with the screw they touch so that the faces are flush.

Would you mind posting more pics? Pics at different angles? Thanks.

Take a look back up or at the beginning of the link I posted for a 12" drill bit. Its less than $5.00 to purchase and would make drilling the hole in the frame much easier.

I saw that but I'd rather not add cost if it can be avoided. I'm hoping Fastsc92 can post more pics so I can get a better idea of how a regular drill and bit will do it. Just want to get a better preview. If it still appears tricky then I might consider the 12" drill bit. Or just selling this kit.
