As far as taps--I've found through experience (some of it not inexpensive) that some things are appropriate (and I think beneficial) to tap and others are very definitely not. Beneficial things seem to be those that are actually "tightened", like the lower arm mount screws (8-32 RH), upper arm mounts to lower arm mounting screws (4-40 RH), stub axles (6-40 LH), antenna mount to chassis (4-40 RH) etc. Things you DO NOT want to tap are the camber turnbuckles, I ruined a pair of CRC machined delrin arms doing this--the turnbuckle wallows around in the arm now.
