Your right side bag thanks you…..

Just so God and everyone knows - I DID NOT use up a wish on your exhaust - that I assure you. Lottery win, 20 seconds with Salma Hayek, a bigger dick.....all on my list still.

I'm going to talk to my neighbor and use his mill. See if I can drill these out and tap for a new bolt. That's my last thought and honestly, I'm so pissed I'm about to just give up.

yeah it’s one thing when ya twist off a bolt/nut on a piece that’s getting shitcanned quite another when you need to salvage the offending part.
