You want to know how to use a tap and die set? why do you have one if you don't know how to work it?

you just put the one that will fit in the hole on there and you twist that bitch around. and then you find a bolt with matching thread patterns and then bolt in on.

 

im wondering if thats what other ppl have done, or drill it out and use a helicoil thing? i've only fixed like studs for valve cover for it and **** never a hole
