Had to get a new spindle and screws for a 46" deck. Bought aftermarket spindle and B&S bolts from Jack's Small Engines. The bolts/screws are standard flat end threaded, but are called HD Tap. Will these tap their own threads into the new spindle whose hole is too small for the bolt to go all the way through? What's the deal. Am I suppose to tap the holes using a tap? Using the screws provided? Doesn't appear to be enough sidewall in the hole to get a decent thread. Drill the holes out and put nuts underneath? Yikes, if one drops off while mowing. What do you guys do.
