Front Spring eye mounting bucket wear

[parsonsj]

You could always use thick washers and weld them to the bucket to reinforce the hole.

Hey Al! I was going to suggest the same fix as Randy. Get 1/8" or 3/16" thick washers, bolt everything up, tack weld the washers, then disassemble and finish welding. You don't need to weld all the way around for strength, but it's probably a good idea to keep water from getting trapped in there.

Thanks John and Randy

I think you are right-probably the easiest, quickest solution.

John-are you going to PRI-if so, please stop by-booth 2191.

Or a little larger bolt, even metric if needed. Fastenal has a bunch of different bolts and nuts in all grades.

I swapped my 79 Camaro's LCA bolt from metric to standard, partly for the same reason hole slightly larger, plus I hate half standard/half metric fasteners on a car.
