okay so i had run into a little problem when taking out my motor. I have a 92 civic HB that had a d16z6 in it. anyway i was taking out the passenger side torque mount and the nut thats welded on the inside of the frame rail that you can't get to came apart from the welds and the bolt was just spinning. i had cut the bolt to get it out. I had come up with a plan to weld a nut with a shoulder on it to the outside of the frame rail with only the shoulder of the nut being exposed. its kinda hard to explain but im not sure if this will be strong enough since this car will be a DD with a B16a2 in it. the only other way i think of repairing this is to cut out a area of the rail so i can get a wrench in there to tighten the nut to the bolt. which i really don't want to do. If anyone has run into the problem that i am having right now please post what you did to fix it or feel free to post some ideas for fixing it.

Thanks

sorry if someone has posted something on this all ready, i couldn't find much on searching this.

 

bump

 

If you remove the bumper, I think the end of the frame rail is open. Not sure if it's enough room to tack a new nut down or not.

Look into a product called a "Riv-nut" if that's not an option.

 

okay cool thanks bro

 

The torque mount to the trans is not able to be seen from the front if you remove the bumper the rad support is solid there. If you have any worries about motor moving you can just buy the Hasport rear mount or the entire kit. With that you should have no worries

thanks i'll keep that in mind, you think i would have any problems with just one bolt in the mount for now?

 

you might get a rattle if it starts taping against the body other than that no

 

okay cool. thanks for the info

 

This happened on my car. I used to install trailer hitches at a previous job. and I enlarged the access hole on the side of the frame rail and used a handle nut. normally these are used to install trailer hitches on veh with boxed frames that do not have weld nuts from the factory. Check for a local hitch install shop and they may have them laying around
