[quote=Edchris177]Do you use the ball just as shown in the picture? My (1984-1.5")is getting a bit worn on the top. When I removed it, it seems to have a threaded steel insert. Is it OK to just drill & tap? How far do you drill, 1/2 way, or would 3/4 be better.
I can see the threads just holding the ball in place, & as long as it was screwed down to the end of the threads, the compression load would be taken by the ball instead of the threads.[/quote]
