KiNK43 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Haha.Well one things ticked off the list. But more things crop up. Welding is all done. Am now adding seam welded chassis to my list of mods! Even if it is onlY one corner.Whilst doin this we had the seats out and carpet up. Noticed that I have a coolant leak inside the car.which is nice. And also the passenger footwell is absolutely soaked!!! Need to investigate.. Heater intake maybe blocked??? Dunno. Brightside though I have got a replacement ring for the rear Tein. Only cost 17 quid for a big nut. Bargain!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 well ive been very busy. i have stripped out the entire interior. the carpet was drenched. so i took it out and dried it.in the mean time i took the sill covers off and blasted wax into every orifice to try and kerb the moisture problem that has caused the rust.i believe it to be the windscreen that is leaking so i pulled out the trims and filled the corners of the windscreen with silicone hopefully as a temporary fix until i can get a new windscreen.i took the scuttle panel off and sprayed wax inside .i have properly cleaned all my seats while they were out and now they look spanking. also found £1.35 and enough backy for at least 2 cigs!now the problem, seat belt bolt was stubborn to come out so i decided to leave it and cut the carpet around it.thing is i needed to turn it back in now the carpets back in and the yep you guessed it, the bolt sheared off!!!any ideas what i can do to resolve this??? i can only assume that the bolt has been cross threaded possibly from the day it was made?? but now i have no passenger seatbelt and half the bolt is stuck in the hole!

VTISmichael Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 they are lock tightened in i believe so most likely its been in there so long its fused, i would suggest that u can either, drill it out but u will have problems coz i think those bolts are hardened so u will need proby a diamond coated tip drill, dont bother with a stud extracter your proby break that too lol if that fails, drill another hole, or cut it out and make a new plate, or just dont have a passenger anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetec Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 use a pin punch to mark your centre... start a fine drill bit in the middle...then drill/work your way up.... tap n die set will do the trick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 or just dont have a passenger anymore lol this is my preferred option but hey not too practical.gonna give it a go on thursday night. wish me luck!very excited though. it has s**t it down all day and my floor is dry! wahoo. silicone has done the trick for now. good job its load baring silicone as my car is now 90% siliconethanks for the help guys!
