I've searched for a while and came up with some information, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully cut down a D cell MagLite body and re-tapped with an actual tap instead of doing it on a lathe. I'd like to make a 1D. The other option (short of sending it out to a machinist) is to cut it into 3 sections and have my buddy TIG it up at work. My aluminum MIG work isn't that spectacular and would probably require a lot of cleaning up when I was done.
Thanks guys!
EDIT: After some more research, it appears that taps of this size are in the $80-100 range? If it actually works, it might be work buying anyway because I doubt this will be my first and last mod of this type.
