In the 90's, I had Widell make all my specialty taps and dies. I paid big bucks for them. I was working Tournament's every weekend from here to Canada. It was essential having as much tooling as I could on the road.

howdy , hey call Prather for those blank inserts...

*Update*

I was able to get a tight fit by opening up the insert a few thousandths with a boring bar and chasing the threads with a tap.

Note, I also had to trim the diameter of the insert pilot down to 9.02mm as this is the size of the counter bore on the mezz united butts.

Thanks to all for the help!
