[V8] monkey lads strike again

[Ron Wainwright]

Funny you say you had a problem with those f'in WP
bolts......it might have happened to me once or
twice...LOL
 But I don't think I used a drill to clean out
anything eather.
 I think maybe chase the threads out with the proper
tap....or a bolt of the rite thread pitch to wind in
there to clean stuff out. Or you might be able to use
some WD40 or the like & use a dental pic to clean it
out a bit. Or
I might have a good bracket...but @ that point you'd
have to take your bracket out anyway & @ that point
you wioul;d have a better grasp of the part to do the
helicoil.

 & I'm still waiting on a statis on what you wanna do
about those //scar rims. I even know someone who may
take the "other" set you have.
 Let me know.
