Large Metric Security Hardware Needed ASAP

[dhcomp]

my local Ace rocks..... far better hardware selection than the depot or lowes.... usually i order stuff from Mcmaster (which if i order before 9 a.m, i'll have before 5 p.m, the SAME day!) especially oddball stuff..

but i've stopped in there many times on a sunday, and have been pretty impressed with their odd, and metric offerings....

Gotta try another local tomorrow. Getting those really only helps me get them pinned.

How hard would it be to have a machine shop drill/tap the center of the head? Then i coudl thread in a smaller security head to cover the Allen head....

got a drill press and vise? should be doable at home, maybe throw an 8-32 in it...

Drilling and having a pin pressed into the allen bolt would retain its strength over drilling and tapping the allen bolt for a security bolt/screw to thread into. I guess it really depends on how tight you want to make the M10 bolt.

A lathe would be way more accurate to drill the allen bolt in the dead center (especially if using a pressed in pin).
