I managed to re-thread a fine thread shoulder bolt with coarse threads for the first half of the threaded length. That amazed the other guy working with me. He said we aren't going to be using bolts from that company anymore. They should not be that soft! The nut actually looked pretty good. The coarse threads were stronger I guess. Something to consider when looking at head studs and threaded inserts for your 911 engine.

I did that with just a short crescent wrench and a normal rachet. It was only a 7/16ths bolt though.

I kept the bolt since it looked cool, but I don't have a camera so no picture.
