    there's no need for tapping if you use sheet metal screws- they cut threads into the post. tapping cast white metal is a waste of time cuz its soft metal.

  • @rabfan

    You’d have to try and find a smaller screw and tap to fit your rivet post

  • @tommurphy4307
    @tommurphy43078 ай бұрын

    i do the racing champions micros (1/144). i use a .043 drill for setting the screws and #0 sheet metal screws with either pan or countersunk head. setting the screws should be the first step to minimize the chance of ruining a rivet post- do this before cutting the rivet lip. no tap needed for metal screws.

    What is meant by "breaking the chip"? Thank you.

  • @rabfan
    @rabfan3 жыл бұрын

    The tap peels metal off the side of the hole to create the threads. As that metal peels, it curls up in the tap reliefs. When you turn the tap backwards a bit, that peel breaks off the side of the hole. If you don't break the peel off periodically, you run the risk of the peel getting so large that it interferes with the new threads being created and will gall up the tap. This can damage the threads or jam the tap and cause it to break.

    It is a 1-72 tap. If you google "1-72 tap size" a chart will come up with recommendations for drill size etc. there are several sizes of screw and tap that will work for hot wheels. I just used 1-72 because my local bolt supply can get them.
