Anyone else have a problem with the threads on the turnbuckle ends? Four of the turnbuckles built fine but the other two had bad threads on the left hand thread ends. I tried taking a ball cup end that was already threaded on a left hand end and using that but it would not thread on either turnbuckle. Finally I tried chucking the ends up in a drill and putting it in reverse, applying pressure and SLOWLY spinning the ends on but that just resulted in the ends going on but are now stripped and wont move in or out when turned. I have built several kits and never ran in to this problem. I know kits have problems from time to time but I also had an issue with my B5 buggy where the outdrives weren't machined out enough for the axles to fit in.
