can you not buy BB shells that are already tapped?

if i ever choose to do it, i probably wouldn't do the forks anyway to be honest.

they have a thread cast in but they always need running through with a cleaning tap

Agreed you don't need a ''proper jig'' but it's ''proper'' hassle without. Anyone would ''struggle'' to build a decent frame without. Building a home-made jig is possible but a project in itself. You can also buy relatively cheap measuring equipment as Perks suggests but again this makes the job ''proper'' ''admin'' as I like to call it. Still we are pretty much all here for the love of it so nothing wrong with giving it a go.

I worked at venom for a while (very short while)

So did I !!! Just prior to the meltdown.

Anyway, I need to speak with you about a project you could probably help me with.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
