Default Thread tapping query (For the Godspeed kit)

Fitting the godspeed kit requires that you tap a thread through the holes where the caliper bolts sit normally (Is it called the wheel hub or something?)

The bolts will go in from behind and come outwards (i.e. same orientation as the standard caliper bolts).

Does it matter if I tap the thread from the outside in or do I have to mess about with the taps on the inside (i.e, is a tap "directional"?)

Tapping from the outside would be way, way easier

the hole can be tapped either way. If you think about a nut and bolt you can screw the bolt through the nut from either side. Hope this helps steve
