If the thread does not go all the way thru you may need a 3/4" "bottoming tap" to get enough threads in that short a distance. Ray
Its a 'blind' hole. I haven't measured the hole, but looks like it is about 3/4in deep. As I might have mentioned, I'm talking to Wilwood to get a longer bolt. They have bolt 'kits' and one for the 63-64 Corvette (drum brakes) seems to have a longer bolt, just looking at the pics. That kit is about $95.00, so I'd like to be sure before pulling the trigger on that!! 3 threads is pretty sketchy even if I got it to tighten up! Monday may bring some relief.
