Bottom Ball Joint

The Sierra upright needs re-drilling to suit the Maxi ball joint (you may know this already).

I do and I have but I've a feeling its not been done proper deep enough. The thread only just comes level with the top of the nut and now
putting the wing stay on its not going to be right. Just wondered as the nut seems a right dobber but I think its the right one.

Cheers for the photo Dogwood. It appears that the length of the threaded part is equal to the thickness of the upright that it goes through which
makes mine some 7.5mm short. That sounds about right. Cheers very much.
