You have to drill and tap(you might not have to drill. the stripped out hole might allready be the proper tap size. it has been a long time since i had to use one. ) out to the larger size and screw the stud in. You are left with the stock size stud sticking out. Todd Francis tbf@pacifier.com '86 Westy Syncro Vancouver, Wa '91 Tri Star Transporter
