hey peps been working on the three door again tnt and started to remove the tca mounts inner and outer but came accross a hitch, the mounts that go onto the chasis legs one of the bolts has been replaced for a 10mm thread nut and bolt but do you think i can access this from the floor pan inside the car???

 

Do you mean the arb mount mate?

 

sounds like it
there are vents in the floorpans that give you access to these area's, you may need to chop them out but they will do the trick

most likely that the orignals hve snapped inside and thats the only way to get them out

 

sorry guys done me homework today and realised i dont know what im talking about its actually the anti roll bar that fits onto the chasis rails, this must be common cause i remember me old 3 door had the same bolt replaced but they cut the chasis rail out and re-welded after fitting bolt (not cool)

 

When mine stripped out, insted of using a nut and bolt I bought a set of arb mounting bolts for a granada...next size up but still with a 13mm spanner head. Just drilled and tapped out the captive nut to suit.

 

Its possible for a really skilled welder to weld onto the stub - the added advantage being that the heat loosens the rust as well. I'd go through the floor and repair it with an inspection panel kind of thing. Just my view as it will be out of sight

 

done the job now, brute force and bent the bracket down removing the old bush and inserted the lovely polyurethane item sorted...

 

You animal! Lol!

 

Where there is a will there's a way - glad its sorted mate

 

Oi gaz you on my user name Ban him

Theyre out and looking sharp!!

 

You boy's need to get your motors on the road so i can anillate you on the strip at Santa Pod

 

Fuck me the whole crew are on here, im gona move to another forum

 

Wow hopefully it will smell better now.......

 

just make the most of it cause when im back on the road you will be in me rear view mirror permanantly!!!

 

what like you did to me not, on the way to ace:c ontent:

 

what an horrendous bodge, don't be suprised if you hear clonking at the front under load as the anti roll bar moves about as it won't be clamped as well as it should.
get the job repaired properly!!

steve

 

oooooh sorry steve! maybe youd like to come down and fit it for me.........

 

I dont know. These bloody weekend mechanics!

 

least i dont take all day to fit a fuel tank!!!! your not at seat you know...

 

What do you reckon on this manifold: it had cracked and has been rewelded at the 'flange' where it bolts to the turbo.
