Tap snapped in hole - doubleboost - 11-28-2014 I was asked if I could "drill" this out Snapped tap been well got at Ground the top away Nice clean metal Welded ready for some file work & re tapping John RE: Tap snapped in hole - krv3000 - 11-28-2014 as per jhone brill work RE: Tap snapped in hole - Mayhem - 11-28-2014 Nice work John. That looked a decent size tap to have been snapped... RE: Tap snapped in hole - stevec - 11-28-2014 Good work John (as usual, ho-hum). Looks like the tap was pretty near bottomed when it broke. The casting is aluminum, right? Did you give any thought to putting in a copper "bolt" once you pried the tap out and then welding over it and then onscrewing the bolt? It helps to assure the alignment/position of the tapped hole is retained.
