Ugh. Cars can be real beatches to work on. I'm in a daze from working so long on a repetetive stupid task. Student fabrication accuracy made things 10 times harder. I can't believe how the rest of the guys go until 3 AM days in a row. Oh wait, yes I can. They start around noon.

My brain is frazzled now.

Oh, hi Tweeze.

All I can say is I am not designing my suspension for next year to include many heim joints with tabs that are welded to a tube frame chassis and which have holes which must line up and be spaced exactly as far apart as the A-arm span, and which need washers of certain sizes stacked in order while inserting a bolt and while tweaking the arm with all your finger and forearm force while not moving the car off the stands...

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.

I'd need a 911 to kepp that in mind for first.......one day......hopefully.....got another goal that's more pressing first......gonna have a Maserati before 30........pretty well on track for the Jags replacement to be a used QP in 2 years....

This bolt was just for one of the rear flood lights....nothing important.....I cut it so a cover would fit as the lights are aftermarket and the bolts were never trimmed.....then I slipped tightening another bolt and bled all over everything.....it's all good though, I think a little blood actually increases the reliability of old British electricals....

If they don't directly involve her, why the doom and gloom?
