Comparison of studs.
So I got the insert out cleaned up the threads with brake clean. Then used locktight to secure it.
I'll let that sit a couple days to cure.

Oh yee of little faith!
It's posts like this that I'm glad the original owner of my GTX cheaped out and got manual steering.

So my buddy seat pivot bolts were crappy, and I wasn't having any luck finding a set sooooo.
I took a 5/16 SS button head bolt and made bushing to simulate the step, and shoulder.
These should work. I made a couple extras if anyone needs a set.
I put power steering fluid in the pump to check for leaks.
Then I noticed a missing cotter pin on the outer tie rod. So I went through them all torqued them and installed cotter pins. Next I blacked out the header panel. A fairly productive afternoon with no drama.

Wait a minute, torquing tie rod nuts? Oh, i forgot my arms&hands knew the torque from way back. Kinda kidding. I always used to throw that out to my boys(kinda true tho). Cranky,KK,dvw & others, feel free to chime in! Jeff

That is pretty slick, love it!!
So the pump sat and didn't leak so thought I would install it. Took 2 times to get the pulley where I liked it. I was thinking I had it whipped but it had one more kick to the nads left in it.
The dam thing had the wrong threads for my hose! Luckily I saved the old one from the core I sent in.

I did get brave and installed the battery tray & battery, hope that doesn't jinx me!
Day 4, no leaks!
Been away for a while. My grandma passed away last week. She was 98. She had a good life.
So I spent a couple days cleaning up the garage. Getting reorganized. I now have a empty table & bench. I did get the k member splash shields on. I did have to modify them just a little to fit around the adjustable struts.
