Re: Over Weight?

When it comes to weight, the sort of mentality "Is the juice worth the squeeze" doesn't really apply. Every little bit counts- do you use washers on your fasteners?- you don't anymore! Can you replace a bolt with a rivet or a nylon bolt? - then do it. All these little things add up very quickly so go get your drill and a 1/2" or 9/16" drill bit and have at it! Don't forget your deburring tool.
