Thought about that also. There was a bent and broken bolt in it that I had to drill out. May just ise a plastic pop in fastener I picked up at Lowe's on the project parts isle. Gonna be difficult to tap the hole in between the forks.
put the tap in ur cordless drill,go slow. It will slip in the chuck instead of breaking. I'd go 1/4-20
Im a maintenance tech, in a industrial plant. I do it all the time....what ize drill bit did ya end up using? 3/16? tap 1/4-20
1/4? go 5/16 -18 tap
