pm Post subject: where to find shock bolt mounts
i was installing a set of bilstein shocks on my camino and made the mistake of using the bolts that were including for the bottom of the shock... these were too long and caused the tabs that held the bolt in to break. any ideas on where to buy replacements for these tabs? _________________ 1984 Conquista

after a couple hours of work and a few trips to the hardware store i managed to get them shocks in there right... first i had to hacksaw all the screws out because the speed tabs had busted and would not allow me to untighten the bolt b/c i couldnt get a set of pliers/vicegrips through the openings in the springs to hold them... anyway, i solved the problem by picking up a set of four new 5/16" speed tabs and 1 1/2 inch long bolts to go in the shock mount holes .... now that i have them installed i can tell that the handling is different but it has seemed to raise my front end 2 or 3 inches.... just was not expecting this as i had installed new shocks only a year ago _________________ 1984 Conquista
