Insert installation. I had to make up an "out in the county" fix to get the handle to clear. I used the oil from the kit on the installation tool and loctite 262 on the outer threads. I wish I would have used more 262 when I remembered it was also a sealant and not just a thread locker.

Final product. The insert top is just below the primary surface. There is one other step in this process I didn't take a pic of: countersinking the hole for the insert. This is done before tapping and the countersink has a pilot so it's a no brainer.

Tapping the outer threads. The thread fit was a little loose. I only had to break the tap back twice. The tap handle is homemade from vocational school when I was a kid! Again I used tap magic for aluminum. The tap handle barely cleared the derby cover (too lazy to remove it).

Drilling out the threads. I use tap magic to make it easier to drill and leave a cleaner finish. Did this by hand when I realized I couldn't get it under my drill press.
