_Bug_

I recently bought this car (96ex w/ B16) from a guy who did most of the work himself. Most of the work is kind of ghetto, and as I do more work on it I keep finding more stuff. Anyways, to make a long story short, like two weeks ago I was driving, (it was night) and I hit this big *** rock and it broke my transmission motor mount. I then realized that it was only held on by one bolt instead of three. The bolt on the side and bottom were missing. I looked closer and the holes were too big for the 14mm bolt, and even too big for a 19mm.

So my question is whats that thing called to rethread holes, and how much does it cost.

here are the pictures:

sounds like the two holes that were not used need to be redrilled and tapped for a larger bolt.

I can't beleive some of the wacky **** people do.

you might have to replace the frame section if the heli-coils dont work or you might want to try time-sertsthere the same as heli-coils but better
good luck

What are heli-coils and time-serts? Whatever they are I hope they work and I dont need to replace the frame section, that would suck. Luckily my friends dad is a welder.

those are what you need when you have stripped threads or when there is no threads your local parts store will have these

Yeah I did a search and found out what they are. I dont think they will work because they wall of the frame rail is so thin, they have nothign to hold on to. Im gonna try drilling through to the other side so I can use a long stud. Basically it will be all the way through the frame rail.
