[TR] Thanks for the help on Spit vertical link

[Bud R <levilevi@comcast.net>]

List, thanks for all the help with questions about my Spitfire vertical link.
On my second try with a heli coil I got the caliper bolt to hold with the
recommended 65 ft/lbs of torque. The first time I followed the hell coil
instructions and counter sunk the hell coil just a bit. As it turns out the
caliper bolt need those few extra threads at the very top of the hole. I set
the hell coil at the top and there was enough threads to hold the needed
torque. I painted a red stripe on one flat of the bolt head/caliper to easily
check for any movement.

Dont know what got into me with reading and following the hell coil
instructions. That usually doesnt happen.

Love this list,
Bud Rolofson
