good idea Dave, but he only problem is it'd be a miracle to get the nut to drop in. next time you've got your bumper and bumper shock removed, look inside the driver side frame rail and you'll see what I mean.
heck it just hit me, shoulda thought ofthis before, my minds been all over the place lately.  
I can just bring the mig over and add metal and grind down till the hole is covered and then retap.  thats what I'll do if I I don't like the way the helicoil feels.

on a lighter note, this is all thats left on my front suspension and front frame resto is done :supz:

If you coated the bolt with zddp last time it was out you would not have this problem :rolleyes:

My solution was to have a couple of steel plates made the same width as the frame rail and long enough the bracket wouldn't hang over the ends.

I don't understand the reasoning for that thread creation either. I don't see "sour grapes" in that thread either, just free thinking and opinion.

Oh well, it will help perpetuate the negative connotations about IHADAV8 over there I guess.


Maybe littleboard should feel honoured that bigboard is talking about it.

some people are natural followers and believe what they are told rather than doing their own research.  Those are what make commercial boards successful.   Vendors love it.

It is no big deal.  :)

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
