amedman3 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I would like to fit DW pushers in a Daytona cartel case. Currently the pushers are press fit so I need to tap the hole to accommodate the DW's. The tap size is the same used for a Rolex 5.3mm case tube and is M2.5 x 0.25. Where can I get this tap? I know ofrei has it but it is really expensive for a tap. Anyone have a reasonable source for these taps or a spare they would want to sell, borrow, or rent me? Maybe a kind sole could tap it for me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amedman3 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I am still looking to get this done. Can someone suggest a person here that would be willing to tap this for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Are you sure the pitch is 0.25? Looking around seems the standard pitch for a 2.5 is 0.45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just had a search, you're right 0.25 pitch. Thats a tricky one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amedman3 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 OK I found the tap and successfully threaded the hole. When I went to install the pusher I broke the stem screw that holds the button. Anyone have a spare screw in stainless steel Daytona pusher they would like to get rid of? PM me and thanks!

Akira Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 May I ask where you got the tap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amedman3 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 TAPCO in Rockford, IL. I bought 2. They are professional grade taps, super hard with very tight tolerance. I decided if I was going to buy one it my as well be a good one. I would be willing to trade one for another DW pusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
