Thanks for the advice yesterday . I went down to the hardware store today and got all the stuff I needed, drill bits, taps, and ez-loks. Went pretty smooth. Boy the case sure is soft. Now I know why a insert is recommended. I just had a little bit of the ez lok sticking out on the top 2 so I knocked it down with the grinder. Took about 2 hours with a hurt foot hobbling around. Highly recommended.

Good job!
But don't thank me, YOU are the one who pulled the trigger on the drill and dug into a case, there was no pucker factor on my end of the keyboard
You should add this to your other thread on this job so future tappers can get the whole story, it also adds a happy ending instead of just leaving the job hanging. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
