I've recently had some Hogs built but they have been t-nutted to fit M6 bolts. My PD1851s arrived today and they require M8 bolts, what is the best way to increase the size of the hole so I'm able to mount the drivers?

Should be a peice of "pee" to sort with a hog, no?
Take the old driver out, remove existing tnuts, redrill with 8mm bit, offer up the new 8mm tnuts and then clamp them into the wood (G Clamp or such) Edited by spongebob - 07 September 2012 at 5:50pm |

Just make sure that the new tee is seated properly.

This! you don't want the last tee to fall out Run around them all first with a washer instead of the basket, with an electric drill you can get them to bite fully in no time

Just got round to doing this today and the m6 t nuts aren't moving when trying to get them out, whats the best to remove t nuts? Or will i be fine mounting the PDs with m6 bolts?

Put a bolt in them, and batter it with a hammer.

and when you seat the new T' nuts use a big packing washer on the bolt head side, otherwise you could risk damaging the baffle with countersunk holes

I'd always put grease or copper slip on the bolts as i fit the driver, spinning Tee nuts are a a pain!!
