Im looking for brackets to mount my effects back on the car most of the bolts have rusted . That or different ways to repair the studs if you have pictures I would appreciate it !

 

If the brackets themselves are intact and just the stud is shot, what you need to do is cut the stud flush with the bracket. Drill a hole in the bracket where the stud goes and then buy a carriage bolt and slide it through the hole. Tack weld the stud so it doesn't spin and get a nyloc nut and washer for the other side. Speed nuts that came factory suck anyway so in all reality this is an upgrade over factory anyhow. If you do not have the tools to do this then you'll likely have to buy replacement brackets, but be prepared to pay way too much for them.

 

I can hardly find new brackets lol so I think fixing the ones I have is a must is there a way to do it with out welding ?

 

Not really. If you wanted to ship them I could do it and ship them back. It might take a little while but it'd be way cheaper than buying a welder or new ones.

 

As Bucky said it will be best to make new ones. We had to fabricate new brackets for my ‘84 TA. We used flat stock and threaded rod. You can see pics in my build thread here:

Thanks guys ! I was able to remove the old studs , the brackets are salvageable so just have to get the new studs tacked on
