I'm getting into the final stages of designing my LED retrofit for my BC29.

I'm handing with a soldering iron, but its the drilling and tapping that I'm not soo handy with. Anybody handy with this and willing to help?

Compensation/food/etc can be sorted out.

Don't laugh too hard cuz if no one steps up I'm using your drill press

Buy your own tools.

I'd be willing to help out

I have 20+ years of the kind of experience you need

One restriction would be that you have to bring your build to my place as I couldn't imagine what to bring to your house. Well, we could work on that too ...
I have a crap load of tools .....

PM me and we'll talk

PM sent

Ya, I'd say the same thing, but, 20 years ago I didn't have what I do now.
It takes time to spend $10-40K on stuff

Heatsink plaster will eliminate the need for all those taps. Same idea as attaching a CPU to a heatsink. I've used it myself, very easy.
