Cliff,
There ia a "thread-sert" device available. It includes a tap for
threading a drilled out manifold threaded boss, installing the provided
"thread-sert" that matches the correct sender. I was not aware of this
before I heliarc welded the existing boss closed, and redrilled/tapped
for original thread.
Sounds like the threadsert method would be easier for those without
heliarc aluminum welding equipment.
This can, however, be farmed out. So can the threadsert conversion.
