So I had another thread about the driveshaft and sye I got. Well I finally got it all in. Well I forgot to remove the tease drop. Alls well that ends well. I currently lost the studs for the crossmember. So my question is, can I use the tease drop bolts with the pucks removed? If not what size bolts do I need to get from the hardware store?

You don’t need the studs. Yes you can use those bolts if the threads are ok. You didn’t say how long they were, but if they were just long enough for a 1 inch drop you’ll be fine.

I used some 1” square tubing for a drop and later removed it. I’m still using the same bolts because they were a higher grade and zinc plated. I don’t know if they’re quite 60mm but they didn’t bottom out on anything.

As long as enough of the bolts are threaded, they will work just fine. Remember to check the torque after a few drives then maybe again after a few hundred miles.
