[QUOTE="kurtflys, post: 46723, member: 2939"] This was very easy,,,,,, until <<<<< I tried to insert the bolt, which was tight,,,,, I thought that perhaps that was normal,,,, perhaps to seat the recoil,,,,, bolt snapped off !$#@@ On closer examination (to late of course ) I realized it was not an original bolt. Ok I get the drill back out and start the process of drilling it out. ,,,,,,, I'm almost home and SNAP!$$#@$# Drill bit snaps off. Now this ten minute job has expanded ????? I did not like the idea of leaving the shavings from the drill and tap in the case anyway,,,,, so off comes the clutch and case cover. Good news ,,,,I was able to punch the drill bit out from the back with very little force ,,,, Ran the drill and tap thru one more time,,,, might be a little loose this time but I will see. I will have to have the right bolt sent from Covington and give it a try. If it is to loose for the recoil to work,, ?? I'm think I might have the now to large hole welded up and start from scratch with the original side bolt. If I do that ,,, how hard will it be to weld the case??? What is the case made of? Do I need a special rod?? I have learned from this to always check nuts and bolts to see what they are=( and if they are correct. [/QUOTE]
