Front Strut Tower Bolt Issue
Begging for mercy, I know this was stupid of me...:bang:
I was finishing up the install of my coilovers and bolting up the front strut tower. Since it was late at night I was slightly rushing/excited to take the car for a spin and didn't shorten the strut tower to get the bolt holes to line up. Long story short I ended up messing up the threads on one of the bolts and POSSIBLY damaged the threads on the body of the car. Can I use a tap to fix the threads on the body? Anyone know what size tap I would need? Is there a better way to fix this? Thanks for your input! |
A tap and die set is suppose to come with a thread gauge to tell u the thread type and u should able to figure out the thread width but u will need to change nuts. It'll cut the threads skinnier.

Why would you ever need a stupid thread gauge, you guys are way over thinking this.
1)remove bolt from cross threaded hole 2)get a tap, hold it up to said bolt. Line up threads, match the bolt diameter 3)if you are still confused, take the bolt to a hardware store and find a nut that fits 4)retap hole 5)have a beer |
