If you want to be precise, the 23/32 would probably be the way to go. But, you CAN get by with a 3/8 drill bit. I've done it. 3/8 would be 24/32, which is only 1/32 of an inch larger. A pipe tap is tapered, which means that the tap gets larger as you screw it in the hole. So, you have to screw it in just a little deeper, when cutting the threads. So, the question is, how precise does this have to be?
