"no your honor"
"i am mearly relocating them at a safe location for later return"
the management used to be much more leinient for the homework side of things but a couple of the boys got carried away with modifing their firearms ,so they had a clamp down on everything.
but they are relenting slowley.
i drilled the discs the other day.
and they keep asking when they will see the elusive buffalo.
it started as halloween then xmas now its easter.

She will never be pretty but hoping she will be a fun ride.
good greif that was a struggle,
i almost dropped a nut lifting it out of the frame, (not a metric one either.)
i dont know that it can be done without a lift plate,
i had two of the m8 head bolts burst
so i am going to helicoil all the m8s while i have it apart.

your better off using inserts rather than helicoils,
I made my own using 12mm threaded bar and had the holes drilled out on a lathe and tapped them myself.
I drilled and tapped the barrels etc lock tight the inserts and put them in the barrels,worked a treat.
the insert need to be longer than the threaded hole and a slot on top ,so that you can screw them in. once done grind the meat off but be carefull that you don't grind the face .just around the insert would be OK.
these are much stronger than helicoils. john
If I wanted to make a life-long career out of
working with the mentally retarded I would
have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership
Time-serts are the best inserts I've ever seen. As with what John did, you get nice, steel threads, with less chance of them backing out. Heli-coils aren't bad, but the time-serts are better.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.
Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

Agreed - if you don't have access to lathe so you can make your own as John does, then the Time-serts (and Big-serts for really messed up threads and bolt holes) are a good way to go.

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !
