Default Run don't walk.....

In case some of you may not have read the latest hymn book from Princess Auto....

They are featuring a set of dies and taps up to 1 inch.......

.....and the 5/8 taps in 18 UFC will fit perfectly over your wheel studs.......although only on one side of the truck........God only knows where you would find a left hand tread die for a reasonable price.......

......at $69.99 it is not a bad deal .... typically made in China most machinist would laught at them but for cleaning up treads on bolts and nuts they are hard to beat......

Oddly enough the wheel studs... on the right side... and the U bolts are the same size.... bonus......

I know it takes time but cleaning up bolt hole treads before reassembly really makes life easier....... especially if you got them full of paint like I did.......

Enjoy....
