I screwed up. Drilled and tapped a hole in an aluminum part, looking at the left had print, when I should have looked at the right hand print. It's a 10-24 tapped hole, 1/2 inch deep. It's in the edge of a .344 thick plate. It is off location by .128. So, if I were to plug it, and drill and tap in the right spot, I'd cut approximately 1/2 way into my plug when drilling and tapping the correct hole.
I need some of your ideas on a way to fix this. Basically need to "move the hole over" by .128.
This part will be anodized when completed. I have 75 of these things to fix. I don't want to start over, I have too much time and money into these parts. And yes, I will be checking with engineering in the morning to get an ok for any fix.
I could possibly have it welded shut, but seeing if you guys have any other magic tricks?
