Afternoon fellows,

I recently bought these fine adjustable top mounts from martinpallot:

Thing is, I'm doing a 5-stud conversion using E36 coilovers and this threaded sleeve is M12x1.5 (E30) and doesn't fit! I didn't do my homework and hence didn't realise until now...

My question is, would it be safe to drill this sleeve out and re-tap to M14x1.5, i.e. E36 fit? I'll take it to an engineering workshop to get it done to make sure everything's square etc. Quick responses would be appreciated, many thanks!

yes, as long as you get the engineering shop to do the work (drill/retapping the thread.)
