Just brought myself a tap and die set as funny enough I have tap out some threads on the old engine and on the new one the the exhaust manifold bolts to the down pipe have been snapped off so they need re- threading Rolling Eyes

The shock-to-hub bolt hole and bolt on my nearside rear shocker are complete one offs. We had a knocking coming from the back and day before I moved to Manchester my Dad tried taking the shock off to have a look. For whatever reason we ended up having to tap a new hole and matching bolt.

Probably my favourite one-off mod on the car. Rolling Eyes
