Hello AVB and Contributors

AVB, I think you are a most knowledgeable contributor on Briggs to
these forums, and you have wide experience of the USA scene.

This post has proven most valuable for the service issue of sheared muffler bolts.

chris125 has pointed out that motorcycle shops have good knowledge on this.
Joe C and vcomm have defined the choices to be made.
aussietrev has added information on centre-punching and retaining compounds.
AVB has added the importance of quality drill bits, bit speeds, and the better approach
being helix inserts for a good job.

All in all, a very good resource on this issue.

Thanks to all contributors.
