Dealing with Unobtanium (Guide Plate stud)

[wallyblackburn]

One of the 3 studs on top of my passenger side shock tower was broken off. Couldn't find a press-in stud that size, so...

Took a hex head bolt and turned head down a bit:

Put a nut on it using green Loctite to turn down to the right size for a press-fit into the hole:

Pressed in, again with green Loctite:

Now if I could just get rid of this hideous black paint that a previous owner used on the engine bay :(

Nice job!
Had to get a a couple of used ones from The Birds Nest.
I also had to deal with a rattle can black paint job in the eng compartment. Unfortunately the only person I could blame was the 16 y/o version of myself back in the 70's.
