The "right way" is to carefully run the correct size tap through the paint-clogged threads. The tap should go through fairly easily if it is the correct size (3mm or 4mm?). Borrow them if you can, but taps of this size aren't outrageously expensive, and good to have in the tool kit.
Good luck, Marc ________________________________________ From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] on behalf of Earl Grey [earlg...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2012 2:24 AM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] New Betty Foy frame: trouble getting bolts into brazeons Seems like the paint was perhaps applied a bit too generously. Never had this problem on any other frame. On a couple of brazeons, I have so far been unable to get a bolt in, even when using a bit of oil and much patience in lining up the bolt. Any suggestions? I don't have a wire brush small enough to fit in the holes. Maybe nail polish on a Q- tip? Does that have any chance of working? Other ideas? Thanks!
