Hi, is anyone using a mini drill to start the screws off on the mclaren build?
If so what size drill bit would you recommend?

I'm just using the usual tip on the forum to put a bit of vaseline on the end of the screw and it works a treat.

Washing up liquid works as well on the threads

Hi All

With regard to the various screws, I found a set of watchmakers taps on ebay, they are just right for threading the holes to allow the screws to fit easily, the taps cost £11 +pp and come on a plate with holes to test screw sizes.
