I've tried to do the same thing (saw the old one off at the steel and drill out) but I found the drilling to be extremely difficult and I managed to put a little hole in the steel in the process. I have also made a mess of the hole (off center) What did you use for a drill bit and how did you get it clean enough for the aluminum spring to go inside? What would you suggest I do at this point (now that I've made a mess of it.)

The only trouble I had was removing the old fiberglass rod. I ended up drilling holes in it and pulling it out bit by bit. Other than that it was just replacing one with the other. do not archive Merle Hargis in Orlando, Fl. flying Firefly In a message dated 10/13/03 11:18:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time, muso2080@yahoo.com writes: > I own Mk2-171 and I suffered some damage to the fiberglass tailspring.

There is a bracket on the head of the engine that the muffler is bolted to and I see some wear on the threads and would like to replace these bolts. Anybody know if I need AN grade bolts or if hardened bolts will do. Thanks for your input. Jim Turner Firestar
