Frame Horn
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
Newt

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
