I’m a member of this club too. Thought it was slag after welding, but Adam said they run a tap thru it before shipping, so I’m 99% sure it was powder coat in the threads. It was like glue! Never got the heim joint out.
Murc, I would like to take you up on this. Karter isn't sure where his tap disappeared to. I'll PM you my address. I REALLY appreciate this!Ok I'll own up, I too am the proud owner of a 3/4x16 LH tap that I'll never need again. The outer rod end on my upper passenger arm. Just the slightest bit of resistance and it was nearly welded in there.
Not sure if it was rust or some powder that caused it but i think everyone should use a Dremel wire wheel or even a tap before threading in the rod ends.
Let me know if you or anyone else needs the tap.
I'm hoping for next week. I know there's going to be some obstacles. The car won't start with uncalibrated brake/clutch position sensors, correct??Great news! You're only days/weeks away from first start!
Thanks, I probably will, just haven't gotten there yet.You can do away with the O2 sensor plug you want need it on the Goblin
I just folded it back and taped it up nicely. I thought it might be of some diagnostic use later?Thanks, I probably will, just haven't gotten there yet.
