[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 385781, member: 4627"] Most people around here normally have theirs welded up and some even have studs put in like the newer style pumps but I personally prefer bolts that way if you get some sand in between the shoe and pump you can turn the shoe back and forth to get it loose were if you have the studs with the nuts holding the shoe n you can't turn the shoe. I wouldn't tap it the next size up, might make it harder to get the bolt in and out plus that doesn't leave much meat at the edge of the shoe since you'll probably have to drill it out for a 5/16" bolt. If you can find one carbide drill bits work wonders on stainless bolts. :wink: Like Ranchero said it take time to drill them out but carbide drills do well on these stainless bolts. [/QUOTE]
