It makes servicing and  repair more sure & reversabile if need be later. I am aware of JB welds strength. My guess= is the whole thing could be extracted later ,although some what painfully ,dril= led & retapped for the larger size. Just my 2 cents worth.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   Regards</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   Dale</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><= FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size= =2> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 i= t for engine block repairs.  It is thick and easy to work with.  I= t takes 14 hours to harden completely.  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill Peterson</FONT></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
