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???
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...
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!!
