Has anyone had this problem along with a solution? Could a piece of steel rod be welded back in place?

I think you can drill deep enough for a roll pin to hold it without drilling all the way through it....just me thinking again! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 | Hey Alvin, that's what I would do too.

I'm going to take it to our local machine shop and see what he can do.

Thats cheaper than breaking a couple drill bits and driving to town to get more!!
Nice job. | | |
