rethreaded the bolts that hold on the work bench to the brick wall on the back wall of garage . I was going to mount the vice on this bench but the previous owner had the work bench bolted to the wall at 96cm (must have been a giant) Im going to drop it down to 84 cm.
When I knocked out the old bolts ( really old ) cleaned up the shaft with wire brush on drill and rethreaded with a die as I must have damaged the thread knocking out the old bolts or could have been a bit damaged already. Still once cleaned up and re threaded i cant see any point of spending $3 on new bolts and they are a bit custom in size. Will just cut a 5mm thick plate for the outside of the garage and drill lower holes and use again.
Vice came in handy for re threading and for a 60 year bolt they nut goes smooth as
