I'm surprised you've seen the same issue with the AE ones, my were flawless. But, your tip on having a 3mm tap is a good one, I definitely need to get one for other uses.
Can't wait for my carbon and aluminum parts to show up. Not that there is anything wrong with the car out of the box, but we all like shiny bits and rebuilding perfectly functional cars, don't we?
