I was making such nice progress on putting together the front suspension on the Bumblebee. A buddy came over this morning and helped me get the rebuilt (914 Rubber) rack with turbo tie rods installed. I then installed the suspension carrier with A Arms with new bushings. Things were going so well. I was a little suspicious of the forward left carrier bolt as the threads looked a bit flat. It was tightening up ok though as I test fit everything. Got the right side installed. Then the left. Went to torque that bolt and it spun.

What are my options? It doesn't look like Restoration design sells this part. Can I do some type of thread saver repair on it? If it wasn't a Bumblebee and I wasn't trying to do things pretty by the book I'd clean the metal off and weld the damn thing. Options?????  It was going so well  |
