Busted lower shock bolt .

[Jimmer]

Are the bolts pressed in ?
I'm thinking about drilling it out and replacing if not ?
Thanks
Jim

How about a hint for us like what are you working on and is it the front or the ear ?

I broke the bolt off today removing the leaf springs .

I suppose it could be repaired. Most people just buy another plate. There are two sizes. Make sure you get the larger one if you have an 8.75 rear.

Thanks for the response .
I cut the rest of the dtud and drilled it out .

[all original]

I broke one off as well. Had a machine shop bore and tap a hole and screwed in a stud, you would never know by looking at. Mine are the large plates which are getting harder to find

Where did you get the stud ?

I ordered Mancini replacement shock plates .
I'm disappointed they are not exact . Which I don't like they are wider . I will get a stud and weld it in the one I have and send Mancinis back !
They will do in a pinch or one that's not 100 percent stock otherwise repair or find original .
