Front Mount Question

Post by ldmitruk »

Hi,

I was installing my front mount solo and as a result of miss-reading the torque number on the mount I broke one of the bolts. I miss read 1.5 as 15 as the decimal point was hard to see. I can replace the bolt locally with out a problem but I'm concerned I may have damaged the threads or the mount as a result of using too much torque on all the bolts. Do I need to get a new mount?

Cheers!

That's a lot of torque you applied!

I would replace the bolt locally. As long as the threads "catch" I suspect you will be OK.
