Probably won't find a Q bit at the local autoparts HomeDepot or Lowes store. Try a real hardware store or industrial supplier. Or just buy the kit that comes with the bit. Oh and 8.5 MM is less than .003" larger than a Q drill so it should work also. http://www.csgnetwork.com/drillsizeconvert.html

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

21/64" is .004" smaller and works. I've done it a number of times,especially on a low torque app like a carb mount flange

You can do it even easier. None of this pi$$in& around with bit sizes. BUY A HELICOIL KIT!
It has everything you need, the helicoils, the drillbit and the tap.
It'll cost you about $50, although I have bought for a lot less on the 'bay.
After you're done, you can buy more loose coils to do more holes.
R.
I would agree...but you get what you can in a one horse town. not all kits come with the drill bit. not all places order kits in...just common sizes for the bulk racks. the pack of inserts are a varity of sizes with other only being in a common size.
I have been to 2 countys looking for the kit with a bit..no kit for a 1/4-28 to be had.. with or with out the drill bit.
so now I am looking around on the bay now. amozon may have something if I get that far into looking.
