Hi All
I found that my front dampers, were attached using a mixture of BSF and UNF bolts. Not good you all say, worse one of the bolts was crossthreaded at some time and the thread is stripped.
My proposed solution to the 7 unstripped holes is to use new UNF bolts.
For the stripped thread I intend to drill out and tap to 7/16 BSF (next available size). I will have to open out the hole on the damper a bit as well.
I would be grateful for any comments on the above.
