Better instructions

I bought a hood nut repair kit from mid fifty. I understand you drill the nut with a 1/2 drill but I don’t understand the steps after that. It’s not explained well in the instructions.
thanks

Been thinking about ordering one of their kits. I’m going to keep an eye on this thread to see what your solution is.

I think its a threaded insert that is pulled in with the tool, kind of like a big pop rivet.

Just a small heads up (from the school of hard knocks) it is some times difficult to drill perfectly round larger hole when there is all ready a smaller one. Use a step drill bit works good.

Up to you but: Sly from mid fifties hangs out sometimes at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1956Fordf100lovers/ and does reply.

I could do pictures of the above things (upon request) but have to wash the cat today.
