after work today, im going to try and drill and tap the two holes anything else I should try?!?! |
Looks good! I like the material used on the headliner, reminds me of speaker box carpeting :D
Did your threads just strip out on the cross member? I feel like your only options would be to drill and tap, or drill/tap and helicoil to retain the factory threading. |
