<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 it
for engine block repairs. It is thick and easy to work =
with. It
takes 14 hours to harden completely. </FONT></DIV>
