utvolman99 Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Okay, in removing my 73 240s front turn signals I completely destroyed those little metal clip stud thingies that hold the housing to the car. I have taken apart four pairs now and almost everyone of them decides to spin in the housing! Is there anywhere I can get new studs? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how I could mount new studs and still be able to remove them later? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Did the same thing, mine were crap and the bolts just tore up the plastic threading on the lens. I got some sex bolts (that's what they were called when I was a hard core skatboarder 10 years ago) and drilled through the entire lens and just used a longer bolt. The sex bolts kinda look like rivets but they're threaded. Don't know if they make them anymore but I got a whole box at home. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utvolman99 Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 I think I know what your talking about. I still am not sure how I would ever take them off again even if I did that. If we are thinking about the same thing there would be no way to hold the rivit side while you took it apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Not sure about your last comment but the female end is threaded and is shaped like a T. When the bolt is screwed in, the 2 halves pull towards each other. The flat face of the T sits flush with the lens but it could be done the other way as well. I like to experiment with different bulbs and stuff so it had to be easily rebuildable. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
