I need to further my education.
I am in the process of removing bits and pieces form my '62 MGA. As I
replace these items i would like to do so with new hardware. Can anyone
tell me how to tell whether a British bolt of that era is of mild or
hardened steel? There are some marks on the head of the bolts but I have
not been able to find out what they mean.
I bought my first tap and die set today. Is there a good tutorial on the
web on how to use such things? What are the drill sizes one should use
prior to tapping a hole? In the absence of a web site can anyone send me
some tips on how to use these instruments?
Thanks.
Preston
