Metric over standard any day. Growing up overseas and dealing with metric and then coming here and switch to standard was very tough. And then we deal with metric for my engineering degree. Why the hell do we even use standard if higher education uses metric to give people engineering degrees lol

lol, over here im required to learn the standard, they dont put alot of effort into it but they want you to understand it and be able to work with it
Because America!

What would you guys do?
Broke the bold that holds the K-frame (front subframe) its a 12mm bolt,
Now i have drilled trough it with a 8.5mm drill bit and i tried to reverse tap thread it( idk what i trying to say but i think yall get the drift)
anyways nothing is working it seems like ill either have to make a 10mm thread and use a 10mm bolt which doesn't sound all that appealing
or i could cut a hole in the car and try to do something with that maybe a nut on the other end
Wondering if you guys have any ideas or opinions
picz for pleasure

Use a torch worse case?

well being that were out of gas. and even if we had gas i recon that i would defiantly ruin the threads then?
Possibly, but you could either
1) use a longer bolt with a nut, no need for threads
2) tap and dye set
No clue if that's a "good" solution, heat is usually the last thing you wanna try, but if you absolutely need it fixed soon that's a sure fire fix (no pun intended)

And by tap/dye I mean melt it out, bore it out so the hole is the same all around, then thread it

yeah tap and die is apperantly waht ive bin trying to do all day broken 8 drill bits i think a longer bolt and nut is the only way... but i dont like cuting into the body :088: thanks for your input tho
Drill it out bigger until you get to 11mm and then tap it for 12mm.

If it is breaking drill bits left and right you are doing something wrong...but that should be an incredibly hard part so you may be able to melt the bolt without melting the threads, idk though...I rarely have to use heat :/
I'm with galantman on this one

When you drill have another person spray some sort of oil in the hole (like pb blaster or something) it'll help keep the heat lower and reduce risk of breaking...and don't push a lot on it, let the drill bit do the work...takes longer but doesn't break bits as easily

Use thread cutting oil
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
let me clearify drill bits are not breaking because of heat its in most cases because of the drill bit catching on and snapping... granted im useing a magnatic drill machine but that neither here nor there...
Oil and not pushing will still fix that problem. Pushing too hard is what causes it to grab (oil will cause it to slide/cut easier without grabbing), heating up will cause it to break easier (heat makes it weaker, same concept as when you heat up metal in order to bend it)

Easiest way to understand the heating up thing on a molecular level is to look up a video of when you heat up a wire...the heat actually causes the molecules to separate...if you pass electricity through a wire and heat it enough (glowing orange hot) at a point the wire obviously starts to droop...keep heating and it will actually shrink up (very rapidly). This is because the molecules rearrange themselves because they are so spaced out they loose "connection" with one another
Very very cool to see, almost like "magic"
