[Tigers] Fulcrum pin bolts

[DJoh797014 at aol.com]

I stand corrected.  What I said goes for the four bolts that hold  the
cross member itself to the frame.
 
If you are talking about the smaller bolts that hold the fulcrum pin  to
the cross member, dont fool around.  They are all that attaches the  lower
A-arm to the car. These bolts have been known to sheer off when
backing up and turning.
 
I urge you to install John Logan's fulcrum pin fix.  It removes  that
stress on these bolts and provides a much needed safety backup
against catestrophic damage when and I mean WHEN the fulcrum
pin fails.  Everyone's fulcrum will fail, no matter what it is made  of, and
will fail without notice.
 
I sent a copy of his fic to all who asked over a year ago.  If you  need
a copy drop me a note.

Dave,
Not sure you and he are talking about the same bolts. I think  his  subject 
was labeled "fulcrum pin bolts."  I think he could  be talking about  the 
bolts 
that attach the fulcrum pin to the  crossmember.  
If so, I don't believe that there is more thread inside  of the  crossmember. 
 
I'm pretty sure this subject has come up  before. Search the  archives of 
this 
list for some comments. If there  is nothing there I'm sure  some member can 
give good advice on either  retaping to a larger size or  using a  helicoil.
