Basket's Build

I don’t even know what a “finished” knuckle is. LOL! I ordered his 17” BBK and it comes with new knuckles. Are you saying I don’t need the tapered insert with the new knuckles?

I also ordered raised sway bar brackets and hoping to install all this soon. I better get out of Basket’s thread and get on my own.

A finished knuckle would be one that is drilled out and has the insert tig welded in. Since you ordered the bbk maybe he'll swap it out for a reverse drilled one. I seem to remember him offering that as well.

Not a hard leap of the imagination to follow

If it doesn’t come reverse drilled I’ll just do it. It only takes 20 minutes to drill out and weld in a tapered insert. I’ve done it before. I just don’t know some of the terms like “finished knuckle” or “reverse drilled,” so I have to look them up.

Hope this helps.

Assigns petulant teenage girl voice to these posts. Now the tone matches,lol

I meant that it’s more expensive and time consuming to send the knuckle back just to have it drilled out and not need the tapered insert than it is to drill it out myself and weld in an insert. You can assign anything you want. You have the right to imputation. It doesn’t make your imputation valid though.
 
Mine wasn't meant to be helpful 🤣

It wasn’t anything really.

I don’t know what I don’t know and I certainly don’t know much about this stuff.

It is my enjoyment of whatever this is

It’s a petulant, petty, combative series of posts about trying to find what turned out to be a prospectively unnecessary item on Basket’s list and stealing it from him in his own thread.
