<DIV></DIV>Well, I don't know about the original part, but I tried to run a
7/16-20 UNF thread chaser die over the big end and it was no go. It
deformed the threads within a few turns. I don't think much of modern
manufacturing methods in this case. So, now I'm looking for an original
threaded pillar. None of the usual suspects sell them. No telling
who made the one I bought from Cape International. I am beginning to see
why my late Healey restorer friend Tom Rock always said he could do three BJ8
cars in the time it took to restore just one 100-4.
