I guess I sold the nuts and bolts with the aftermarket one.
I need the nut for the mount with the attached bolt that mounts to the tranny. At lowes, I tried 10x1.0, 1.25, and 1.5. I also tried standard nuts. It's something else. Thanks, Steve |

That hardware is all M10 x 1.5 You'll need the OEM TA clamshell mount. Anyone who has installed a UETA will no longer need it.
The threaded hole in the case for the topmost bolt that holds the TA bushing is prone to crossthreading and stripping out. I have a helicoil kit for that size. |

I always put a stud in the top clamshell bolt hole. It makes it much easier to work with.

I've got the stock bracket with bushing. I just need the nuts bolts that go with it. You are positive that the size is 10x1.5? Because when I tried it, it felt like it wasn't the right thread size. |

Yours may have been damaged, or had debris in the threads. This post has been edited by Blainefab: Dec 14 2013, 09:55 AM |
