in the process off mounting the putze tube shock conversion kit, i found that the shock mounting bolts on the driver side had been changed. instead of 3/8 by 24 the bolts were 3/8 by16. so the bolts supplied in the kit would not fit that side. a visit to the local fastenal store for proper length grade 8 bolts and i was back in business. after examining the shock tower it was evident that the original metal had been cut out and a new piece of metal and 3/8 nuts had been welded in. and it had been done very well. i sealed the bolts and nuts with blue loctite. i know that the coarse threads do not have as many threads but in a street driven car should i expect any problems with the strength of the lesser threads??? also my car has a sbc engine and is lighter in the front as well.any comments appreciated!
