Mine were in worse condition than yours and all bolts and threads were good ,suppose its luck of the draw . thinking of doing mine again (colour change) so just the locktight to deal with as it been less than 2 years since i did them.

Yeah i would defo finish the job if i were you,drilling titanium bolts out aint as hard as youd think, a carbide tipped or a cobalt drill super sharp and kept cool as the heat build up is what fecks them ,drill at a slow speed and use firm pressure,jobs a goodun ,he says,plus they will be worth a bit more  :wink:
