What you can (and probably should do) in the long-term is take the shock out, disassemble it, knock those studs out, and put these in:
2" Top Plate Stud, Set of 6
This way it's simple, and you dont need an entirely new top plate assembly.
edit-- just noticed the strut isnt there in your pic. Yeah dude-- grab these longer studs and get her going
Are you doing some sort of frame-off resto or something? Just noticed how clean the brake lines and bracket was. Super awesome if so. |
Thanks for the feedback! I'll order those studs and try them out.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a frame-off since the body is still on my rusty frame. I'm just building from the ground up with a donor frame and then I'll do the body swap once it's rolling. Should be very very clean once it's all said and done. Check out the 2.0 build thread in my signature and follow along if you want.
