    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sorry, never even gave it a thought and its all back together again. Basically he just aluminum welded it up redrilled it and retapped it in the correct metric size. I did have to grind it down so the cam hold down bolt would go all the way down & the 10mm 1/4 inch drive socket would fit on

Yea we know.
 
It wasn't the bolt that was bad, it was the threaded hole it screwed into, but thanks

I think Jay was showing that he has 1mm oversize bolts made to fit. Just tap the 7mm threads to 8mm and use the new aluminum bolts.
 
Nice, but too late for me now as I bought a couple of spare screws, new washers and then a pile of 7mm Helicoil stuff, quite an adventure..
Another, "if only".
