[Healeys] Rear Shock Mounting Bolts

[Alan Seigrist]

It's good to use a grade 8 bolt (they don't stretch) and a metal lock nut
and steel washer and tighten like hell.  Ideally the bolt has a proper
shoulder and isn't threaded to the head (technically these are hex
screws).  Make sure all surfaces are clean and no oil (spray with brake
cleaner or something like that).  You can also try a safety nut and wire
it....
