    Got it out with a couple drill bits and an appropriately sized tap 3/8-24.

    Wheel locks from Autozone can't remember the name/brand.  20 bucks for the set of 20.

    Whew!  Glad it worked out for you.  :thumbsup:

    Every time I think of snapped bolts I think of the crank bolt I snapped on a friggin' Renault type of car.  :bricks1:

    Well, using my home made paint booth LOL  painted some parts today.

    The Wiper Motor, Engine mount brackets, Crank Water Pump and Power steering Pullies, Alternator and power steering brackets as well.  Good thing I put a heavy duty exhaust fan in the garage bathroom.LOL  Found a good use for a short electrical snake too.  Much stiffer than the rope I usually use.

    Cleaned a bunch of nuts and bolts in my tumbler too.

    Oh and I found this tucked in a box from a Car show this summer!  I got it from Auto Rust Technicians in Rhode Island.

    I miss the warm weather. :bricks1:

    Well after some thought, I decided to strip all the extra stuff in the bay.  Power Steering Box, Master Cylinder, Metering Valve and Lines.  While I was in a dismantling mood I took out the 904 tranny, driveshaft, and the Fake T/A exhaust.  Was a messy day and I'm out of room.LOL

    Tom :2thumbs:

    i did finish one thing, the inside of my inner fender patch, came out pretty good for my first time.  At least I think so.LOL

    Mocked up the Aluminum Summit Radiator today along with a Derale tranny cooler.  I temp'd the battery tray anf overflow can too.  So far no disputes for real estate.LOL

    And a pic of my new M/C from Ehrenberg.
    And the reason Rebuilt calipers stink.

    Spent a bit on the firewall and inner fenders, I think I need to clean the garage now and do a bit more sanding and finish.  Then maybe I can spray some color.

    Tom

    Btw, does anyone have an easy way to get that pin out of the steering column?

    If I remember correctly, I used an awl as a drift and gently tapped it out with a hammer.

    I'm lookng at the 1/4" pin, I already got the coupler out.  I hit it a couple times with the 3lb hammer but the column moves around to much.

    maybe get one of the little guys to jump in the car and hold the steering wheel, although i guess they may go flying.   :roflsmiley: or hook up your pitman arm if your drag link is still in there, it shouldnt move then.  :dunno:
