I just ordered some M2 nuts and bolts to get rid of the nails in my marine bands. I think I want to tap the reed plates, and I was wondering what size drill bit I will need to use in order to tap the reed plates for a M2 X .4mm size bolt. Thanks

DeakHarp - here is the web address for an article from Kinya Pollard - lists all the parts and tools needed that can be ordered online at micro mart.

Ryan...not sure If you are just drilling holes to fit the bolts..maybe a 1/16 bit ??...

That whole 4 part "comb over" series was very helpful to me...
