Reply To: ’57 Fastwin mystery – please help

Strange – that’s the same location of the exhaust cover screw that gave me so much trouble on my QD-20 restoration. Never tried acid soak before but got all the others out with some heat. But that last one took 3 days of heating with the MAPP gas and soaking with penetrating oil before I got it out. Patience almost always wins out.
