Anyway David, someone alrealy alluded to this, but if you have any kind of small pressing devise handy (even a vise will do), you can compress 1/2"ers to give you enough dimension to get close to a tight enough fit before you do the final tap. You can also size the lead with a fine copper wire wrap very tightly wound halfway toward the top of the lead (its widest end). (come to think of it, that's halfway in either direction isn't it) While I don't recommend adhesives, you can also size the hole a bit; I wouldn't do anything that creates a permanent bond. PR-J
