I am getting those out to you soon. again I apologize for the problem. I had put the bolt on there and did not tightn it down the entire way. I made an assumption and it made me look like an XXX. If any one else needs new studs and bolts let me know and I will get those out to you at no charge since I made the mistake.

New thread size requires a 5/16" - 18 hex nut.

available at any autoparts store or hardware store for under $1.

Oh no! What a huge inconvenience!


(I'm kidding)
Seriously though don't beat yourself up. You basically came out of retirement to build these things for us at virtually no profit just because we asked. I'll swing by home depot in the morning.

what I did was go off of my old specs and because these uses a longer stud for ease of installation but this new company uses a different thread pitch. I put a bolt on there and it started just fine but I did not screw it all the way down. but now I know so any orders that go out from here on out will be right. thanks for understanding.

video is finishing up right now so I will post it if it works.

Youtube is the worst thing. I spent the last hour trying to upload and it gets to the end and tells me it is to long and I have to verify before posting such a long video I do that and then it deletes the video. WTF!!!! so I am now uploading for the second time. Going to a movie with the wife and let it do its thing and will post the link when I get home. here is the link that it says it will be at in 120 min!!! http://youtube/KAjcPt2JBvY so we will see it that works.

Hey Kelly, you make it look way to complicated. It only took me about 8 minutes to install this kit...

all orders shipped out. I have 6 left from this buy. I have fixed the bolts so those are no longer an issue. if anyone has any questions let me know. Probably wont be doing another one of these for a while so get them while they last.
