bigblue110 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 do you have to old end?? if you do and its got a decent thread on it you could always cut a couple slots down the threads length, mixed with a bit of cutting compound/valve grinding paste n loadsa lube-job done, that is if your just looking to clean the existing thread up!?necessity is the mother of invention and all that!
