Just use a regular tap and die set, put the aex in a vise and tap just a tad over
1". Make sure you keep it straight. I think you will find it easy once you
get started.

How do you tap the AEX tie down bracket for the tie down ring?

I would recommend using some Boelube as well.  Also if I remember 
correctly, the hole is too small and you need to drill it out.

Rick,

I remember that Cessna had an "almost flush mounted" type fuel drain back in 
the 70's and 80's.  I would guess that the newer Cessna's might have the 
same drain.
Worth a look.  good luck,
