[QUOTE="Kale D, post: 1049927, member: 60172"] Yeah the frame is still in pretty good condition, which is why it’s weird the 1 bolt unseated itself and caused some stripping in the process. Only thing I can think of is possibly over torqued it however many years ago and something jolted it and it popped. The bigger bolt was my first thought, as I don’t own a tap and die kit. Could get one but it probably wouldn’t see much use. It looks like a M10 but I’ll have to pull it out again and double check. Not sure what the thread gap is, tried looking for the ford bolt spec but couldn’t find much other than it’s probably 10mm. Without having a bunch a bolts in front of me, not sure what size to get. Does one just buy a m12 and muscle it in? Edit: Posted same time as you [USER=67547]@swshawaii[/USER] Sorry about that, I just find when people answer “google it “ it’s kinda ignorant. Just don’t reply. Sometimes it’s nice discussing it and I didn’t see a post n these forums. Yeah I looked at a few tap kits, was hoping to avoid spending $50 for 1 bolt fix. [/QUOTE]
