Default May Need Install Help

Got my LOD Sliders but discovered I dont have the drill or tap required to do install.

Anyone have 7/16" X NF20 drill bit and tap.

Or could they still be installed without drilling the frame?

Hate to bother someone about helping but I cant see me getting this item just for one install.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Check these out. Can't beat the price for a one time use. Besides, once you have them you may need them again someday.

You and me both!
BUT ... I must admit, I have a HF little single cylinder air compressor for airing up. It has never failed me and for $60 with a lifetime warranty I couldn't go wrong.

I will when I order my Lod Slider. I did not know you had to tap a new hole. O'well I do now.

I know you can pick up the tap and the drill bit at as a package from Pep Boys. I think it cost around $8.
