  Hey, the 1/4 inch longer bolts worked great! -- IV

    You can first try 1/4 inch longer bolts in those holes.  But, you have to keep in mind that you have to be cautious with how much torque you put on them.  If that does not work, then helicoil is the route - but that is something you can do yourself.

    Thermostats - are you in a hurry for them?  Do you even want them (or the heater) in Houston?

      I have 2 stripped bolts on my oil pan. They spin easily but do not fall out. I can take them in and get them helicoiled or is there another way? 


      I dug through my parts bin and lo and behold the lower shrouds are there! No thermostats or linkages though.


      I am a member of Corvair Houston but have to watch kids or pay attention to girlfriend on the once a month Friday night meeting.
