But I thought this was a good time to point out that the typical arraignment for studs is course on one end, and fine on the other.

You did the right thing by using the course threads. As far as the plugs go, they should be the same size. I took my head in and had heli-coils installe; /html/mgs/2000-08/msg00408.html (8,886 bytes)
