Today I was installing my shocks I tightened the shock down way to much and broke the stud. Im talking about where the shock mounts up to the frame not the spring plate. It looks like the stud and sleeve where the shock mounts to are part of some type of mounting bracket that is welded to the frame. Dose any body know where I can get one? Or is there any other way of fixing this? Here is a pic of what im tanking about

Thanks for any and all ideas

I got it all together now. I went to Reutimann's shop in town and talked to Buzzie Reutimann who owns the shop and is the brother of the shop teacher at my school, and he came up with some thing that I should get done tomarrow in shop. He gave me two peaces that look just like shock stud that I broke off, but have a stud on the back end also (so maybe they are shock studs didnt ask). He said just cut off the stud on the back, and cut the old one off of the frame. Grind it to make it clean and smooth, and weld the "new" stud that I just cut the back off of on the frame in the same spot the old one was. Then mount the shock and DONT over tighten lol here's a pic of what he gave me:

Im most likley going to use the one on the left because there is more to weld on to. But both are the same size. im going to cut where the yellow line is:

It should be really easy then Ill have shocks again :clapping: Ill let you know either tomarrow or Friday how every thing go's ill also post up more pic's when I get it all mounted. Thanks for all of the ideas I just hope the one I picked to go with works :wrench:
