i have to have that 3/8 size though, or something just slightly larger and a matching tap.

12/17/2005 12:25:56 AM

you couldn't use the 1/2 in ones? i have a 1/2 in tap you could use if needed

12/17/2005 12:26:54 AM

nope, this is for removing the needle bearings for the rotor shafts on an eaton M90 supercharger. cant go drilling big holes in the thing.

12/17/2005 12:28:39 AM

aah, gotcha. i'll keep lookin fora 3/8 one then. i'm bored at home

12/17/2005 12:30:30 AM

dont have your bolt






















but ive got some special nuts.

12/17/2005 12:36:58 AM

with special sauce????

^^ i just dont want to pay $20 for a bolt, tap, and grease fitting if I can find something in town cheaper.

12/17/2005 12:42:32 AM

i know this is vague as shit and dont help much.....but riding around the other night, i saw a minivan with a company's logo on it...specialized in only nuts and bolts, a local company

buddy of mine said they were the best place in the world to find any hardware you were looking for, said it was like a walmart for just nuts and bolts

ill try to ask him the name today sometime

12/17/2005 7:42:22 AM

12/17/2005 7:48:13 AM

12/17/2005 7:51:24 AM

ding

Might try Boater's World Discount Marine Center
6286 Glenwood, Raleigh, NC 27560
(919) 787-3338
although it might end up being stainless.

or maybe a 4x4 shop

If using a drill press I would drill through a 4x4 piece of wood and stick new bolt in, then drill through bolt to keep the hole straight. Unless you have access to a lathe.

12/17/2005 9:08:41 AM

then the bolt will spin

12/17/2005 9:51:57 AM

you could always put the nut on or notch out a space for the hex head or use both the wood and a clamp. you've got enough brains to figure that out. But i'm assuming you're being somewhat of a smartass

12/17/2005 10:52:04 AM

Ill make one for ya

12/17/2005 11:41:27 AM

Joel you have PM

12/17/2005 3:28:44 PM

i think i actually got it to work, the hole aint perfect but close enough

12/18/2005 10:24:14 AM

If need be I have a lathe and I guess we could make it... just buy a good bolt chuck it up and center drill it, then put a grease fitting in the end.

12/18/2005 11:44:29 AM

yeah thats what i did. the hole all the way through is only 1/8 and then i drilled out about another 3/4 of an inch or so big enough to tap it for the grease fitting.

12/18/2005 12:32:57 PM

what was it for again? ass lubing?
