:shock: .. Yes..

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

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!
