Is there any reason why the 6-point bolts holding the tranny on had really shallow heads? My friend and i ended up cutting about half the heads to reduce the preload and then use vice grips... Is there some reason i can't replace them with standard hex head bolts that won't strip? If so, what kind of bolt is recommended by all you gurus out there? thanks for all the help, -Damon ===== '84 Westy (Sparky) '65 Kharma Ghia (Dharma) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
