[QUOTE="tinkerer, post: 1013015, member: 50973"] According to the tutorial, here: [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html]Stress-Free Pillar Bedding[/url] He likes about .012 of clearance. Me? I usually in up drilling large enough to assure the pillars line up stress free so that when I bed there is no binding. This means sometimes I end up with a little excess devcon around the pillar. As far as length goes, I always make them long enough to stick out the bottom and sand them to final length to match the bottom for a smooth look after setting. Than I counterbore the pillas for head of the socket down into the pillar for flush. Than I trim the stock bolt to assure a tight fit on installation. Follow instruction in tutorial and be sure to use Johnson's Paste Wax on things you don't want epoxied permanently in place. Larry Tinkerer [/QUOTE]
