Bud,
By any chance, do you know the wall thickness of those lower tube stubs?

I totally agree Nigel,
It is just added insurance against cracking.
Dave Conrad and I just finished his. Reaming the lower tube requires an ex
tension on the reamer. Dave bought a hand reamer square end so we could fi
t it to a =BD inch extension and drive it with a drill. Dave elected to st
op at the bolts. I think I would remove the bolt and drill the insert as w
ell in the future.
