Meet the $1,200+ stripped pivot ball hole...



The threads look halfway usable from this angle, but the other side of the hole is smooth. Technically I could drill it out and do a helicoil style repair, but I've been on the fence about doing the SFI bell housing conversion/upgrade. This pushed me over the fence. Wife also said "just do the upgrade now. You know you'll regret not upgrading it". She's right. Unfortunately that doesn't make it any cheaper.
