Don Coatney Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Have a machine shop drill and tap the holes and install studs. Or if you want bolts they can install helicoils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks, i thought about helicoil but very sceptical about doing that because of running the bolts in and out often. trying to stay stock. if all fails i think the studs are best. Thanks Rob Have a good day ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdome Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 If you don't want to use Helicoil you can install Key Locking inserts, they are readily available at part stores or online at places like McMaster-Carr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) a properly installed helicoil is not a problem ..I have seen helicoils inserts undergo a power driven thread chaser with no destruct at all....this display even amazed me... but for the trouble to go this route compare with that of drilling and pressing studs...I think I would go with a set of stud and make them all right hand 1/2-20 with the caps on a stock car there is no way anyone will know the difference... but as always, you must be comfortable, so what ever fix seems best...

dpollo Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Have studs installed as PA suggests. It is a permanent and bulletproof fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I used wheel stud #98184.1-, 1/2"-20[ Advance Auto Parts], drilled out old threads-pressed in the studs-a little tack weld for insurance- works fine -Good Luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
