GP-7 Upgrade Truck Screws

[Len]

I finally got the upgrade trucks for my dummy GP-7 and ran in to a minor problem when I went to install them.

The original trucks use a 3.5mm screw to hold the pilot/footplate casting in place. The hole for this screw on the upgrade trucks is sized and tapped for a 3.0mm screw.  Fortunately, I own a set of metric taps and was able to drill the hole out and re-tap it for 3.5mm.

But if the new upgrade truck sets are going to have a different size hole than the originals, they should really include a couple of 3.0mm flat head screws for making the change. Since most people don't own, or have a simple source for, metric taps.
