Everything has been going really well as I reassemble my 73 850 MkI. All the refurbished and refinished bits have been assembling without a hitch. That is until I was tightening up the head stay 5/16 x 22 bolts. One was stripped. Although it removed during disassembly normally, it did have a bunch of thread sealer on it which I just shrugged off and moved on.
Fortunately, it is on the left side and not the center so I have access to install a “sert” in situ. It appears there is enough meat around this as to not have issues drilling and tapping but I’d thought I should check with you’all if there is anything I should be aware of. I did find a BSF 5/16 x 22 kit in stock at Bay Fastening Systems, www.bayfastening.com so that part is handled.
Thanks
