Ok, i feel like a complete goose. :oops:

I bought a second hand Whiteline strut brace- very excited i went to put it on...tigtening up the last bolt i snapped the bolt straight off :roll:

Is this bolt a part of the shock, or can I get a new bolt to replace it?
I was planning on getting some Koni's eventually, but dont have a heap of money at the moment......Im really hoping this isnt as bad as im thinking it seems (ie a new shock required :frown:

)

****Doh, and I even posted it in the wrong section! Sorry!!!*******

just need a new top hat, or if your feeling creative you could drill out the old bolt and fit a new one through the hole. - this will need to be done with the top hat off.

Wow man you must of been really excited to brake that one off!! its huge!! make me feel better about all the littler bolts i've snapped in my time.

Thanks Dave- i feel alot better- very relieved!!!

IS it hard to replace? (is it hard part to get or expensive?)

Got home and the brace came in the mail....was rushing a bit, wanted to go for a spin and see if the brace makes any difference (ive heard it doesnt) Oh well, it looks good anyway!
