dont try an easy out just drill it all the way and clean up the threads
I never got a call from ya and didnt think you was going to be working tonight

I did drill it out but it was not perfectly centered. Doesnt really matter, I think my metric taps are locked up in Cousin It's garage and he is at the river.

I think Billy has the right size tap it should be the same size as what he bought for the adjusters but if not you can get one at wholesale tools on pinemont for pretty reasonable price

I have the tap, we may have to do a little B & E to get it but it is there. It can wait until he gets home.

Your project is coming along. Looks good

i have a tap 14 mm 1.5 thread and i think i have an easy out you may need call me it you need them..

this guy had a similar problem

That guy should have bolted up the beam to the frame head before welding in those threaded holes. There is a very good chance that his bolts will not line up with the holes . I would have bolted everything up and then welded the pieces into place.

yea I would have as well.
especially since I had so many problems with my heater channels not lining up exactly with the front frame head mounts

Three nights, six drill bits and countless hours of cussin but the bolt is now out!!!!!
