Guys, I called my friend and tried to explain it and he said that its of course doable but he would need a bolt to try it on while doing it. but he told me that it is like a hell of a job, doing the job with a tap would take like one hour and doing it in this way it would take like one day... Therefore, I'm still looking for a tap or at least a bolt so he doesnt have to first single cut threads into a bolt and then into the parts afterwards.
