[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 513455, member: 9031"] Lol, saw this right as I finished lunch. I just responded in the beginning because the problem that began the thread was one I had never heard of. Then I read that some of you are buying a tap then sometimes the rod end fits loose and I thought to myself, holy cow. I even have to keep my rod ends tight in a new pair of 3/8 tabs while I at least weld 3/4 of them, otherwise the tabs will spread and good luck getting enough ass on a bolt to cinch 3/8 tabs together. Point being soon as I weld em I don't waste time yanking the rod end out to stay cool. I just know theres no way I'm buying $200 in heims then a $70 tap to then get spatter in my threads and have my rod ends fit my bungs loose, possibly. Im at least gonna stuff a wet rag in there while I weld em to keep spatter out. I prefer the rod in method though. :) Carry on. I'm so ready for a vacation [/QUOTE]
