[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1146699, member: 436"] I recall someone posting years ago about the bolt on the R&G sliders being a slightly different pitch than the stock bolt. Since you are turning that bolt into threaded aluminum it would not be difficult to get a slightly different pitch thread into the hole. If you can, verify that the bolt for the slider is indeed exactly the same pitch thread as the original bolt. The easiest way I can think of is to take both bolts to the hardware store and try them in a steel nut. If they are not exactly the same then all you need is a new bolt of the correct pitch and length. [/QUOTE]
