When Studs break....

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

The stud head is no thicker than 1/4". If you look at the bracket from the
side you can see how far you can go back without hitting anything. There's
plenty of space behind the head of the stud, so it's not likely you'll drill
through the floor pan.

Hey, for you guys that have tapped this out and put in a bolt.  How far in
can I drill the hole?  I don't want to hit anything on the other side.

Just drill and tap a hole to fit a bolt. Thats how I fixed my 84 a while
ago, still holds after all the miles of racing its done.
