[s-cars] Right angle drill I could borrow (CT area)?

Sean,

I think I was more 'gleefully ignorant', since I found it so easy to
remove the studs on the used 7A head I bought.  still, they do seem to
come out easier than 10v studs.. I just got VERY unlucky..

Hrmm, I was thinking about that last night.  I'll see if the local
fastener place has any of those in stock on my lunch break.

Therein lies part of the problem.. I made a real mess of the stud in my
feeble attempts at removing it with standard extractors.  I should be
able to get a straight shot on it with the jig I made.. just need the
right tools to get in there!

Huh, guess I got the wrong parts then!  Not a big deal since I can just
modify a few of the full length studs but I thought I was buying the
right parts based on the listing on s-cars.org, which shows PN N... (net
down, fill in here..)

Is there a correct part number for these or are you just supposed to cut
the stock ones?  I wish that was all I had to worry about on this
project :-/

Thanks
