thanks for the help so far, i think i am going to drill it out, i'll have to buy a new frame slider bolt but i really wont have to worry about any threading because the only thing the bolt screws into is the nut on the other side, as far as the frame and the actual engine there is no threading for those parts, the bolt just slides right thru to the nut, so i'll have to get a new nut also but i'm trying to remain optimistic about this.

 

Should be fine. I lucked out I didn't need to buy a new bolt. I broke my left side bolt they gave me for my Vortex sliders, so I just took the stock bolt that used to go on the right and put it on the left side with the frame slider. Works like a charm.

 

after a trip to Lowe's for a new bolt & nut and a fun filled saturday night of drilling all is well, happy easter everyone and thanks to everyone who gave some input.
