This was not a good weekend for me:( .  I find I will have to be replacing 
one of the rear differential mount threaded post in the TR6.  After staring up 
at it for a while it looks to me like I have two options. One being to machine 
up a sleeve that would fit over the post with a hole the size of the drill I 
need to use and slip this sleeve over the post and use it as a drill guide and 
just drill and tap the post from under the car to accept a threaded stud to 
replace the current treaded section.  The other is to remove the gas tank and 
cut an access plate into the sheet metal above the mount and drill out the 
existing post from the top, machine up a replacement and drop it in and then 
weld 
the access plate back in.  Neither one sounds like a lot of fun to me.  Any 
other ideas out there?  

Thanks,
Marty Sukey
