Exhaust Exhaust Pipe problems

I like the square easy outs myself. Once you tap them in you can turn left or right to help work bolt loose.

Steve, although common you need to ask for them. Along with tool suppliers that carry them you can get them on E-Bay. I'd venture to say that when a bolt breaks in these engines that didn't have lock tite on it the LHD will thread most of them out.

Checked out your link, Ron, 64 sellers on eBay US. Out of interest, I did the 'left hand drill bits' search on eBay Australia - 1 result - a set of 3 drill bits.
Our local hardware has never heard of them either.

It seems that in some fields, we're missing out quite a bit here. Too small a population at a mere 2x million. 22-24 now, I think
Our TV's were always third-world type models, intended for Czechoslavakia, Poland, Romania etc. No hue and tint controls, etc, etc. A lot of the CRT TV circuit boards that the US saw had only about 3/4 of the components mounted, when for sale in OZ.
Nothing much has changed.
Back to LH drill bits, when I need them, I'll order from the US or Asia, not here.
(I'm pretty sad to have to say these things, too.)
