No luck. That's our problem: There are
no lathes here. (A excellent suggestion though, for whenever we
do get one!)

Is that what your team is doing?
Other tricks, anyone?
(And before anyone says it, considering the thought time spent on this already I probably could have just gone out and bought the darn tap... But this is one of those "generic" problems that nag at you. I'd
really like to find a better, simple solution for one-of problems like this than "go and throw money", just for the next time something similar comes up. Thanks!)
