[any remedy to damaged threads?]

thanks I had wondered about this possible solution

 

 

[any remedy to damaged threads?]

One of the studs that support my differential will not take the required bolt torque. ..probably because I damaged the thread whilst cleaning it ! (Yes idiot does come to mind!!) Is there a remedy for this apart from cutting out the stud and welding a new one back in? Thanks in anticipation

[Differential mounting]

I am  mounting the diff back on to the chassis of my car using a Rimmers Poly kit. The rear  mounting kit came with 4 washers....two to suit the 3/8" stud and another two which clear stud.

The front mounting kit comes with 4 washers, each to suit the 3/8" stud.

The old fittings I took off the car only required a total of 4 washers to suit  the 3/8" studs.

I have asked Rimmers what the other washers are for and they could not provide me with a convincing answer! Can anyone else who has done this advise please.

Also what torque should I apply to the 3/8" nuts?

Many thanks

Mike

[TR7 Electric power steering]

I am also interested in electric powered steering for my TR6. I understand that a Corsa B or C system works, but I have also heard that the MGF system works and can take impulses off the speedo cable.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has undertaken this conversion, or any feedback in the subject. I have read elsewhere about people asking why anyone would want to do this.......well that is a separate issue!
