this is what i did-
- sorry for the bad pic but i basically cut a square hole in my floor above the shock mount holes, and cut off the factory welded nut. than replaced it with a new nut and bolt with locking capabilaties. patched the floor with shetmetal and aluminum tape. it was easier than it sounds.

simple fix, takes just a few minutes. Use an air hammer and knock them through. the nut on the other side is just welded on so a couple good wacks knocks them right out. Get one of those telescopic magnets, and some new bolts with nuts. Use the magnet to fish the bolt through the large triangular shape holes and drop it through the hole where the original bolt was, put the shock up and put nuts on em. Tighten em down and you're done.
