I just ran into a massed up aggrafe in a s and s  B.  I roughed up the =
threads with a tap and die, and used JB Weld.  It has 2 ton strength and =
can be drilled etc.  They use it for engine block repairs.  It is thick =
and easy to work with.  It takes 14 hours to harden completely. =20

  Tom Driscoll mused: " If the replacement agraffe is too loose in this =
plate,that is threads in
  but with out much brass in the iron,  could I epoxy or CA the bugger =
in ?
      I'm suspecting that the upward force would make this questionable, =
and
  Joe G.  will put up a stink if he's the poor guy who try's to get this =
thing
  out, but your opinions as always appreciated,"
      Tom,
  Hey! Lighten up a bit!<G> I've done exactly as you propose! It works =
and I suspect will not cause any problem in the future. I use(d) "Steel =
Epoxy".
