Any idea where I can source some press in studs on the rear top hats or any idea what size they are?

 

take them to a fastener specialty store (ie: Fastenal) or order the new top hat from Honda, it's only $24.

 

There is a fastener shop nearby. I will try them, thanks. I have not pressed the old one out yet. Any idea what size it is?

 

14 mm I think.

 

They are actually 10mm.

I stuck out at the local fastener place. Autozone and Advance said goto the dealer. THe dealer diagrams I saw online to not list a part number for the stud alone, just the entire hat. I'd hate to have to spend that money on an entire hat when I only need the stud.

Thought about using a bolt and grind the head down. Not sure how strong that would be.

Any thoughts?

 

Im sure you could go to a junk yard and find another top hat for super cheap

 

No crx's in the area. You know of a chassis that uses the same hat?

 

I think all the civics/crx/del-sol from 88-2000 use the same ones in the rear.... pretty sure if it looks right it is. If I'm wrong, it will still have the stud you need.

 

thanks.
