Hi Guys,
Greetings from Australia!
About a week ago I fitted a Steeda strut tower brace to my Mustang GT. I wasn't happy with the fit of the nuts supplied with the brace. They "bit" into the steel and didn't really cover the mounting slots sufficiently.
I wasn't happy with the look and yesterday decided to remove it. I put back all the factory nuts and 7 of the 8 nuts tightened satisfactorily with my torque wrench. When trying to tighten the 8th nut I sheared off the thread. Main thing is it's not a nut associated with the strut.
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar thing happened and how to fix it? I've tried searching the front suspension but can't find any reference to the bolts. These also hold down the K-Brace which is standard on Mustangs shipped to Australia.
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers & Thanks
Jim
