This also seems really logical, but I just checked an OE ATe tandem MC and my straight M10 x 1 tap fits equally snugly in all 5 tapped ports, right from the start. If you check the Machinery's Handbook, they say that a tapered male pipe thread into a straight female pipe thread is an acceptable sealing thread. BTW the holes for the brake switches, the ones on the left, are drilled about 3mm, while the 3 holes for the hard lines are drilled about 1mm. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
