I made the school boy error of threading one of the holes in the strut top mount when I was re-fitting my strutbrace.Is it possible to get this re-threaded, or is a new mount/cradle thing needed? ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye - 179.1bhp@fly, 148.4bhp@wheels |

Is it possible to get this re-threaded, or is a new mount/cradle thing needed? I did this but as the threads of the bolts for the top mounts are closer together than a normal bolt i just screwed a normal M8 bolt (the same length) through the hole and it re-threaded itself. Did the job temporarily as i couldnt get hold of a new mount right away, but not sure how this would hold up long term. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

Use a longer bolt with a nut on the bottom. Will be okay on the front bolt, if its the other bolts then it will foul against the spring top. |
