skibum Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Hi guys, Just curious if one of you twinky owners could tell me what kind of mounting bolts you have for the front strut brace. Does the bolt come in from the front or the back of the firewall or is it part of the frame etc? Looking into the next round of suspension upgrades and need to figure my options re mounting the brace to the firewall. Cheers Matt Quote

Cheers Matt The bolt heads go on the engine-side of the firewall, and the thread is tapped into the firewall itself so you don't need to get access behind the firewall for nuts etc. Pretty sure that non-Twinkies still have the holes behind the SR (Super Responsive) sticker but they may not be tapped.

Bowler Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 From my experience on an ae92, the recess is there for the whole location, but the metal isn't thick enough to get a good thread tapped. I drilled, then got my hand in behind for the nut, and washer to secure it. Quote
skibum Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 Cheers guys. I have the blanked out holes, just no threads behind them. Maybe a little work with some Rivnuts and a thread can be placed there. Thanks for replying ! Quote
