Sun-maru Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hello all!! After replacing the floor pans and bracket base, I broke off a stud on my donor veh 1970 seat frame. It's a very unique bolt. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get a replacement and how to remove the old and install the new one...Help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 You mean Tool Shed? He must not want much help. A stud is a stud, it can't be that special. It might be a bolt though, a unique one. Unclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've replaced those before and they are a bit unique. I 've found the on McMaster-Carrs web site. You will need to tack weld it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This is a legit question. I understand-its a bitch when these break or get stripped. The head of the stud is very flat to allow the slider to glide past it. You will need to get a bolt of the proper thread pitch from the hardware store, grind the head down fairly flat, then as johnc said, have it spot welded into place. Then, drill the hole in the floor gusset a little over-sized because you will never get that bolt to line up perfectly. Z seats and sliders are a pain.
