I drill and tap all of my rod ends first. I t really makes it alot easier and you can make them fit what size you want (within reason).

correct me if im wrong but, if you simplify that fraction 8/32 and divide it by two you get 4/16 which can still be reduced to 2/8 which can be reduced to 1/4 so what he has should work right? I dont understand if it comes out to the same thing why it wouldnt work?:-?

stay in school
