The committee just held its second meeting over a cup of coffee an established new guidance
This challenge should be viewed as multi-faceted
And when finished entrants need to document
Elapsed time - overall start to finish time of project
Effort - sum of your time actually doing work related to this project. A soak in neutra rust for two days doesn’t count as effort. Driving to a machinist does
Cost - cost of others labor or your consumables. Break an e-z out cost it. Use a gallon of neutra-rust cost it
Good overview.
I know of a few people named "The", but no one with the surname "Committee". Anyone who cannot use a drill would have to farm-out the repair. Below is all documentation needed for this repair.
Drilling the remnant, then installing an m8 Helicoil...about 5 minutes, working slowly. Plus the cost of a Helicoil. Clean, new, threads quickly & inexpensively.
Attempting to drill & recut threads w/o Helicoil...approximately the same amount of time & effort. You'd also save the cost of a Helicoil.
