My business is for sale:
So my plan now is to eventually take my business (mainly just my existing inventory) to Denver. But: I also am not making parts anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items as they run out. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will continue to sell out my existing stock I have on hand and as I run out of things they become discontinued.
So my advice is buy it now because it may not be available in the future.

Thank you,

Also:
I'm also looking to sell some or all of my "in house" manufactured parts that I make in my shop to someone who might be like me and likes making things. This is one of those products. To buy my business is a large endeavor. But if you work a full time job or are retired and want to take on my manufactured parts or some of my manufactured parts let me know.
A nice sideline for an ambitious person.
9-10-24: I am still in business and this item is still in stock.
Drill Jig For Removing Broken Exhaust Studs
For use on the 2.8 V-6 engine
Use this drill jig to drill out and remove broken exhaust bolts on the 2.8 V-6 engine. You can use this exhaust fixture a few different ways. (1) Use the small 5/32” drill jig guide with the hardened steel insert to drill a hole (5/32” drill bit included) into the broken exhaust stud. Then use the screw extractor (included) and remove the broken exhuast bolt. (2) If you are not successful use the larger 6.8 mm drill jig guide (6.8 drill bit included) and drill the stud completely out. The 6.8 mm drill guide keeps your 6.8 mm drill bit perfectly straight and centered. Use the largest guide to hold an 8 mm tap in perfect position to clean out the old stud threads. The tapered head screws included with the kit insure that the drill jig plate is perfectly aligned when it is bolted to the head.
Now also included in this kit. A high quality (made in USA) M8 x 1.25 plug tap.
Drilling tips:
Use a slow speed hand drill. Drill at a somewhat lower/medium speed. Dip the drill bit in cutting oil every 3-4 seconds or so. Go slow.
SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping: Shipping is $12.00 (Midwest-USA)
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
