matthewpetzold Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry to raise this topic again. When I remove the hood frame from my TR5, I find that there are 5 captive nuts below the deck panel the same thread size as the studs on the rear screen frame. What is the standard procedure for dealing with these nuts ? If I simply drill out the threads, will the studs on the frame be long enough to fix through these nuts, or do the nuts have to be removed completely ? Thanks in advance for help on this Matthew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hi mathew , i have recently done exactly what you have suggested, and yes the studs were long enough. They took a bit of lining up,but it is now a snug fit.....the bottom seal is a bit of a pig too. Have fun, Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matthewpetzold Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks Conrad, all fitted now, and plenty of clearance as you said. Used bolts for the front fixings rather than the recommended studs, seemed simpler to do it this way. Cheers Matthew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
