putting the front suspension back in the car and the driver side front A-arm mount wont line up. all the other bolts are in , but this one seems to need to go back towards the back of the car. all the bushings are new and are compressed in as far as they can go.
also, i think one of the threads in the body is stripped. what size bolt do i need , the ones i have are 20mm but the aa catalogue says they should be 30mm Attached image(s) |

Well, for sure you need to be careful with that potentially stripped thread. If you are unable to get a bolt started in it, you will need to weld in a piece from another car.
