buggered thread

[OlberJ]

On my front torque mount i managed to bugger the thread for the bolt.

It's the one that sits under the sticky out bit on the subframe at the front of the engine bay.

Do i need to re-tap the hole wider or is there some other way of fixing the mount on securely?

drill out, longer bolt, lock washer and nyloc?

[OlberJ]

It be worth trying a re-tap 1st?

drill out, longer bolt, lock washer and nyloc?

Easiest and best route in my book!

Wouldn't that mean drilling a damn great hole in the top of the crossmember to get access to the new nyloc nut though or am I missing something?

try retapping it first,that should work,its the lesser of two evils
