Re: Did I get ripped off???

Have you forgot where I live.?
I have, 2 sets of easy outs (one is Glens actually), drill and taps and heli coils so all bases would be covered.

Who did that.?

You got ripped Joe. The story with easy out's...pick the size you think you need and then go one bigger, they're a bastard when they snap

Re: Did I get ripped off???
this is the exact reason why i do everything myself. when i was 19 (21 years ago) i got ripped off in similar circumstances , so promised myself that will never happen again.
so just learn from others, get yourself some tools and you'll be right!
