Re: slim case screw retapping

Re: slim case screw retapping
I'm sure this works just great, but it's worth noting that the original thread is a self-tapping thread - the re-tapped thread is a nut-and bolt thread (M4 or something), so not ideal for biting into the plastic and strongly holding the lid on.
