In a land far, far away, 2500 miles west of California=E2=80=A6a land of su=
nshine and rain. Little English beasts , known as Austin Healeys, used to =
inhabit the hills and valleys, mountains and shorelines. The sun kept them =
warm, the rain and salty air often moistened their lightly protected steel =
underbellies and the dreaded enemy of the beasts brought upon them a scourg=
e, RUST. On many occasions during four decades living among the beasts, in =
the land of sunshine and rain, I witnessed the results of the scourge. In s=
everal cases the scourge caused body parts to fall off the beasts, includin=
g the shiny steel bars that originally graced the front and rear of the bea=
st.=20
The rear bar had more protection but the front suffered from over exposure.=
The little retaining tubes that faithfully held the shiny bar to the unde=
rbelly would succumb to the scourge and the bar would eventually droop and =
the death rattle could be heard as the beasts would traverse the land of su=
nshine and rain.=20
Fortunately there was several hearty souls that cared for the beasts in the=
ir time of testing and trials. This was in the days before the Master, Kilm=
artin, recreated every part of the beasts that had contracted the scourge. =
Back then, crude substitutes for the original wonderfully formed underbell=
ies where made to replace the damaged areas and re-establish the connection=
s between the underbelly and the shiny bars supports.=20
As stories go, the little beasts would let out a small puff of smoke just t=
o let everyone know how glad they were for the attention received. A smile =
and a shiny bar=E2=80=A6.what more could we ask for, except maybe an electr=
ician.=20
Hope everyone is safe and well in this time of difficulty for many. =F0=9F=

Highly unlikely. The tubes are of a heavy gauge and are welded all the way =
around on both ends. They are not just spot welded. If you are concerned th=
at the bolt may be too tight going into the tube you can clean the thread w=
ith a 3/8=E2=80=9D UNF (SAE) thread tap.
