What tap for 1911 Grip Screw Bushings?

[Ljungman]

Anyone know the correct size tap for threading a 1911 frame for the Grip Screw bushings?

Nevermind. Found it.

I am curious...what tap is it?

 

[Ljungman]

.236"-60 ...

 

[peckerwood]

Sounds odd...rare even...Thanks

I hear Brownell's has them. If I can't find one cheaper than the one they got I just might JB weld the friggin things in.

I believe their is a metric tap that is equivalent to this thread.

 

[Ljungman]

would you happen to know what it might be?
