Tyler S Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 On the left side the front hole is almost stripped, the back hole stripped so I drilled and tapped to 12x1.25. It stripped again, anybody else have this problem, if so how did you fix it. People say they have welded studs in but how would the peg mount flush to the frame with a bead of weld there. Also heard of people welding a flanged nut in there also, that sounds like a good idea I just don't no if it will be that strong when its done. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

sleeper06 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've done both , flanged nuts and solid slugs, both look good when done and never had a problem with strength.as long as your welder knows his shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler S Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 How am I supposed to get the old ones out. Am I going to have to cut them out with a grinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 ive welded nuts in many times. You have to counter sink it enough and bevel existing hole to get a nice bead on it and grind flush.yes its strong, strong as the nut and bolt normally are. And its cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I ran all thread all the way through the frame on the back, and drilled out the front holes and used allthread in the front as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler S Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 ill take your word theyre 12x1.25 . thats a good size bolt. how the hell did you strip it The whole was already pretty ovaled out. Even with the drilling I didn't get a good cut with the tap. It's an 87 so its seen a lot of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
