/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1197716
Sadly the element has a massive 40mm diameter thread and my drill bit only goes up to 20mm so I had to use a different approach. Scribed a circle with a compass, then drilled inside the scribe line, passed a junior hacksaw blade through the drill holes and cut from hole to hole by hand, then finished with a couple of files checking the fit on the tread once I started to get close. This would probably be easier if I owned a dremel.
