Drive shaft hits the e-brake thing in the tunnel. So it the trans mount needs to be lowered. I tried washers, but it still hits. Next I'm trying replacing the weird cylinder with two studs on each side with a longer bolt, washers, and nuts.

What is the thread size?

thread size? d-shaft hits e-brake guide in tunnel, so need to lower the trans mount bracket.

Does the replacement bolt have to be a super strong alloy that can be found at h-depot or lowes ?

 

Can you post a pic of the e-brake hitting?

 

drive shaft hits the bracket that the e-brake cable is guided through. there are wear marks on the drive shaft, and the e brake guide is shiny from wear

the car had a bad wreck and was rebuilt way before I bought it.

 

threads= m10 1.25 Home depot, lowes, autozone, and o'reily's don't have them in stock.

 

I have been trying to find new ones as well, either SS or Grade 8, but no one sells fine thread metric! Sucks!

 

I searched everywhere for the m10 1.25 nuts and resorted to Amazon.

 

I use McMaster-Carr or Belmetric when I need specific hardware.

 

tractor supply company has some m10 1.25, but not long enough.

 

McMaster has it ! thanks ! !
