I am planning my rear leaf spring replacement strategy. Obviously, the captured weld nuts in the front and rear are a major deterrent to the whole operation.
For the installation part of this....what do people think of drilling a hole on the other side of the frame which is large enough to accommodate the bolt and then fasten that bolt via washer and nut on the outside of the frame? This would forever bypass engineer johnny's brilliant weld nut.
Obviously, the bolt would need to be a fair bit longer than the original 120mm bolt.
Thoughts and experiences?
