Does anyone make a after market Bellypan/Crossmember that dont reuse the factory mounting holes? I broke one of the studs off up inside the unibody. for a temp fix i have a nut tacked where the hole is. I really dont want to cut into unibody to have a access hole for a bolt. If im gonna upgrade down the road to long arm.. Not anytime soon... I like to have something beefer than the Stock Crossmember.

Thanks

why not just drill it out and tap the hole?

I drilled and tapped 2 of mine to a larger size. Been going strong(-er) now for 4 years.
 
I broke a few cross member bolts, I air hammered the welded nuts off and cut a hole in the floor and use a new nut, washer, and lock washer. worked good.
 
i did the same thing - drill new hole and run a large bolt through floorboards - works like a charm

for aftermarket crossmembers: rustys, clayton, treks off road, and you could probally get RE's sepeate if you wanted, BDS, etc
 
There is no hole to drill out.. The hole is big enough I can stick my pinky finger into... i was trying to get the stud out.. well the nut on the inside broke and the stud and nut pushed into the unibody. leaveing me with a huge hole there.
