Garage Works - 10/19/2025

I got a bunch of work done on this mast repair.

I measured the center points of the holes - three times.


Then I drilled pilot holes and then a series of progressively larger holes.


Checked the hole alignment before enlarging the holes 


Then all three holes were tapped to fit an M6 helicoil


Then a fit check to make sure the alignment is still good.


The M6 helicoil installation tool I have is broken - so I stopped at this point.


I'll grab another tool and get this repair completed.
