Hi Guys,

Came across a floor pan with a crossed thread on one of the frame horns (ie the big bolts under the bell housing).

Are these straight forward to replace. I have donor parts.
Cheers

Any chance of buying a thread tap and re-tapping the thread?

if its just the first few threads that are damaged it will clean up with a tap and still provide enough purchase, as the bolts are quite long.

good luck

drill out the rest of the threads and put 4 nuts and bolts through. weld the nuts to the back of frame horn and volla!

maybe??
