Amen! And some posts are EXTREMELY short such as the '55 BelAir Gasser from post and the '62 Chevy rear post. Almost impossible to drill and tap without running a screw all the way through. 🥺

The post on the rear of those JEEP gladiators I did is even shorter than the Gasser post, is crazy short. 👍🏻✌😁 now that I just told you all of that, I will probably drill all the way through my next one 🤣🤣🤣

I always use 2-56x1/8 and never have any problems with depth, of course I do alot of gassers and we know the front post is very short, the rear of the jeep gladiators are as well, very short indeed. 👍✌😁

Yeah you need to use your pilot bit you used to drill the center of the rivet and drill that up into the post about a 1/4" or just long enough for the screw to go in all the way. 👊😁👍

The smallest one Ace Hardware has to offer. I believe its a Dewalt. You can find the tap at Ace Hardware, grab it and you'll be able to size up the base of it to the right handle. 👊😁👍

You do not need to tap at all... drill the correct size hole then run the screw in a little at a time backing out periodically as you go... the screw threads will tap the soft pot metal easily.
