In short, I bought 6 grade 8 bolts and nuts, washers, and welded them into the floor. Of course, I had to cut access doors in the floor, and weld them closed afterwords. Worked fine. pdq67 Nov 11th, 06, 07:21 PM See my other post in the other thread you put up. pdq67 Dave69Z Nov 12th, 06, 08:34 AM I am also looking for these as the cheap ones keep stripping out when I tighten them down? I checked other message under pdq67 and could only find to use the cone type but yo weren't sure wear they came from? pdq67 Nov 12th, 06, 12:10 PM Sorry about that, I had to look them up. I got mine from D&R, PN K00039. They are on the bottom of page 297 in their 2005 e-cat that's on a disc. pdq67 Mark .L.W. Nov 12th, 06, 12:55 PM I took the cheap cone looking ones and ground the cone right down flat , I then went down and purchased grade eight nits and Tig welded them in place .They hold great now .

Are you referring to these clipnuts for the front leaf spring-eye brackets? http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=83635 Dave69Z Nov 13th, 06, 07:15 AM Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!! apbtrock Nov 13th, 06, 01:30 PM Steve, that is what I was refering too....I'm pretty sure the rest too ;) Thanks for that link, I knew pulling those things out (the originals) I was shocked at what little metal held the suspension together. I can only imagine the repops, and am worried to see they are of even lesser quality. Yikes! I knew grade 8 was over-kill, but if I can sleep better at night simply by paying a few extra cents, its worth it. |
