I spent hours tapping them holes. It's clearly described in Joes Manual as 5/16" holes, how did I miss that. I can recover, but hate the idea of drilling out those tapped holes I sweated over.
Anyways, I'm having fun, atleast it doesn't feel like work.
One question though, do I need to tap the holes in the skates?
