W. Virginia is beautiful, the > hollows are to damp for my wife though. We could use some of that dampness here, we're a couple feet behind over the last 2 years. They forecast 3" of snow, we get 1/2" of freezing rain & sleet and kill a bunch on the interstate. :( And we're down to 0F this morning. No wind yet, but that is predicted too for a -20F windchill. >snip... > >> One now old farts opinion, based on 40+ years of riding, at as much as 37k >> miles a year. > >Who knows, you just might have saved someones bacon somewhere down the road >Gene, not to mention 45 minutes machine time per part ;-) Both of which are good reasons. Sometimes, "just because you can" isn't a good enough reason to do it as a general rule. I particularly liked the do it in acrylic bit that was suggested, and would do 2, one without, one with the heli-coils. I think it would distribute the thread stress better with less danger of a stripout. OTOH, such isn't free either, that would be a LOT of acrylic. However, the finished part done that way would make one heck of a statement about the quality of work your shop can do, and might get you a lucrative contract that otherwise would go someplace else. That has to be "good" I'd think. :) >Thanks again. > >Tom > > >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >-- This SF.net email is sponsored by: >SourcForge Community >SourceForge wants to tell your story. >http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword >_______________________________________________ >Emc-users mailing list >[email protected] >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
