Got caught out on that one , just had a afternoon napp 😴😴

I do love a good thread revival

Fill the hole with JB Weld then drill and tap to 1/4? It’s says you can

It's gone up a bit since I last posted a letter. Was only 3 (old, predecimal) pence last time.

All those bolts you mention came free on my truck with just penetrating oil. A good ring needed for those swivel housing to axle bolts. Some shock helps. Heat is your friend with stuck stuff as your neighbour knows. No head left, angle grinder...

Progress! .... Well, maybe, maybe not, will have a few more runs to see. Despite me having timed the life out of the thing it has still been giving me trouble when I am trying to accelerate from modest speeds (e.g. 30MPH) if there is any "load"...

Is he the one on the right.. 🤣 🤣

Not sure, I couldnt see them as the bar was obscuring my view 🤣 🤣
