since the old thread I posted on is actually in the 8 subforum for some reason, i'll post this in the main for others to see (and hopefully help someone avoid the trouble I'm facing)
enlarging the hole with the reamer yielded an oblonged hole, the rest of the holes are just fine- for some reason this one was the culprit, and of course it's the lower weldment, any ideas/thoughts? I've consulted with a few experts and I think I am going to drill out the weldment and replace it
another view to show the opposite side (bolt reversed on purpose to show diameter)
take your time on this part!
