Dartin for Divorce

I just found what I used last time I installed baffles. These screws: Stainless Steel Thread-Locking Button Head Hex Drive Screws M5 x 0.8 mm, 8 mm Long. You will need a 4.2 mm drill, and a M5 x 0.8 tap to install them. They worked great, and are highly unlikely to loosen and fall out.

I wonder if I could find those at ace. I might go rent the tap and die set from oreillys and tap the actual tabs the correct way for the exact bolts I have.

That should work fine. Back in the day I had a 64 Fairlane with a straight six in it, with a cracked block. I wire brushed the block, slobbered on some JB, and drove it for several more years before I sold it.

I've never used Jb weld but have read good things about it. I want to "not worry" about them after I'm done, which would require welding them but I dont/cant do. I hope the Jb weld tomorrow is set up all the way and feels pretty hard. The tabs/baffle isnt in an area under major stress, just vibrations. Maybe i should strap them to my daughters bicycle have her ride around for a bit and see if they hold up to her, if so they should be good to go on my car :popcorn:
