Owed my friend Tom a hand for helping me rebuild an old T10 four-speed, so I went out to his shop to assist with a clutch-swap on his S10 pickup.Naturally, I brought the Triumph bumper with the bolt from Krypton to see what Tom made of it.He had a drill story too–a cheap bit that “back twisted” in its own metal drilling encounter. “I felt something give,” he said, “but it didn’t feel like a broken bit.”

In a lifetime of shop work, Tom had never seen this–neither have I.
