[6pack] trailing arm studs

[Navarrette, Vance]

	Phil:

	No need to buy a special drill bit. I have a drill bit set that
goes in 1/64" (1/16 through 3/8) and I just use the closest undersize
drill that I have. Aluminum is so soft that the tap will remove any
excess metal for you. What I often find is that if I have pulled the
threads out and need to repair them, the stripped hole is so close to
the correct size that I can simply run the heli-coil tap in without
drilling at all.
	Yes, it is ghetto repair work at its finest, no I have not had
any problems with it.

What is the threading of the holes tapped in the trailing arm to
secure the hub? I can't recall if it's 1/4-20 or 1/4-28. I want to
put in Heli-coils, but I don't want to get the wrong bits.

TIA,
