| The Saga Continues...   Group: Members Posts: 320 Joined: 9-November 04 From: Miami, FL, USA Member No.: 3,080 Region Association: South East States  | Hello to all.  I just wanted to know if anyone knew what thread pitch for the M8 hex bolt that works with the front sway bar reinforcement plate?  The reason I ask is that I purchased OEM 914-501-162-10 and went down to my local ACE hardware store and none of thier M8 worked (1.00 or 1.25 thread pitch????) I called AA after purchasing these plates and they can't or won't tell me what is the correct pitch. I've purchased parts from AA in the past and this is the first time that no one can tell me what thread pitch. Any help would be appreciated, I've pulled the gas tank, made the modifications and shortly will be working on the SS fuel line, but wanted to finish the sway bar project before embarking down the center tunnel... thanks, Fern (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Dude... fix your customers problem and stop blaming it on everyone else. Pretty sure that's what Mark was saying. Seriously George? Nuckles? Porshit? Apologies to poor AA? Just pick up the damn phone and do the right thing for once... give the guy his money back. Maybe reimburse him for the welding bill. You sold it... you're the agent, regardless. Make it right. It feels good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Fern, look around, you can get those plates for $25.00 per "pair" not each. And... they're better quality (read much beefier than those) with the right size fasteners. |
