    Looking at the different types of Taps, I thought it may have more been the design that limited it. Im guessing that Sutton are saying that you can reliably tap "x" depth with "x" tap...any more and its a crap shoot.

    Can anyone recall the failing of the smaller Range Rover pin end? Im thinking that the bush may have more rubber and therefore a little more flex/complience...

    Use a Super Pro bush and it's a non issue.

    uninformed,
    Track down mick moyle engineering in summer hill
    Mostly 2nd hand gear but some new
    Place is a complete and utter lolly shop, was there on friday whilst in sydney for my mums birthday.flew down with hand luggage, taking 21kg bag back

    Anyway, ramble ramble. I saw some M20 and 22 taps as well as plenty of large imperial Unf and nc long reach machine and hand taps. Range from 10 to 25 or so bucks.
    For a job that needs two threads this is where i would start.

    Yep, Modman, the trailing arms I got off a D1, same as Def AFAIK are M20x2.5 pin. When you said you were using 40x10, I figured that was 40 OD x 10 ID, as some hollow bar is classified....along with the 16mm tap statement had me confused...I didnt think you would have a smaller dia in the hollow bar than the pin end....so your hollow bar is 40x20

    20nmv6 seemed like good hollow bar
    I'm no metallurgist by far
    It was recommended by hsv Rangie many moons ago
    It's not expensive or hard to obtain and easy to weld
    I'm flat out but hopefully find time to post pics this week
