Awe Nuts!
My New to me Eldo ('74 LAPD 850), had an obvious exhaust leak on the
right hand side. So, being a good host I bought new exhaust copper
gaskets and went in to fix it. Couldn't get the exhaust nut off.
Rode bike till hot and tried harder and it finally broke loose and
started coming off, but bits of whitish stuff crumbled off as the nut
came loose.
Surprise, the PO had JB welded the exhaust nut in the head. Now What To
Do??
Yes, the threads on both the head and the nut are worn down beyond use.
I'm told I could upgrade to T3 heads, but I'd sorta like to fix the
originals. I've heard fixing the originals is very expensive, and I
sure don't want to pour more money into if there is another way to fix
it.
Has anyone made a tap and die with replacement oversize nut??
Anybody know of other options I might have to fix this??
TIA (thanks in advance)
Roy
