AMTS 120/150 Prado & FJ bash plates. SA made/supplied.

When you've got it out:
[Easy way] run a tap through the hole. Then put the replacement bolt in lightly.
[Hard way] Undo the radiator bolts and swing the radiator out of the way, run a tap from the top of the cross member, then insert longer bolt from the top of the cross member and use a nut at the bottom to hold the bashplate.

damn, you managed to bust a high tensile bolt...thats a good effort.

Used a Breaker-Bar for the reach, didn't felt till it snapped. As amts suggested probably it's cross threaded.

I got a bolt out of that same hole with an easy out before. check my thread here http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...-on-bash-plate

Thanks !! I might drop down to Bunnings at some point.

Thos are high tensile bolts. Sure it wasn't cross-threaded?
Have a search on easy-outs. Should be right with the 3 bolts.

It could well be cross-threaded. The fact that I was doing it alone didn't help
I'll check easy-outs...

Some how been me!! I managed to break one of the bolts by over killing it !!

It could be tricky to get the bolt out.. so I hope 3 bolts at front would do the job till I manage to fix the other

Marc, I think your rig needs to be renamed the silver ghost

[1coolbanana]

Ha ha, only arrived yesterday!
Yes its silver, colour coded and yes, Ive just measured it as well and our original calcs were correct!!!
SFA !
Maybe 1-2mm...............maybe not!

Actually, not really colour coded, just the closest powder coat shade I think.
Bit of an experiment really.

[pjorek]

did yours come powder coated in grey/silver? so did you measure the drop?

or

is it just a clever photoshop and you actually put them on the weekend?

[1coolbanana]

Ha ha ha, youve been saving that havent you!!!!!

Surprise!!!

[1coolbanana]

Bugger of a job on your own but shes all on and raring to go.
Thanks again Andrew

And you too Rob

Is anyone else in the 150 queue? He asks... looking around nervously .

I ended up sacrificing my queue position for a 120 bash plate, after I reconditioned them as I get the car ready for sale. Put me in the queue for the 150 version please. Is anyone else in the 150 queue? He asks... looking around nervously .
