still problems with motor mount, broken bolt in it now
ok, so i got the form-a-thread stuff and put it in the hole and put the blue stuff on the bolt that lets the bolt come out, i let it dry, went to take it out and the bolt is now stuck in there. I started moving it out a little and SNAP....grade 8 bolt snapped off in the motor. I guess i'm going to have to drill it out.
I was looking, i think further up on the right side of my 929 motor mount there is a flat spot i could drill a hole and put my slider/cage there instead of on the motor moutn so then i won't have ot worry about the motor mount AND it'll be closer to the frame so it's stronger. anyone having problesm with this also? i just want it fixed before the comp this weekend.

i was thinking about right about that to tap a hole there and somehow mod the cage to mount the slider further up there. the shop here is going to fix it tonight i think.

You didn't happen to mention if the bolt broke off flush with the front of the mount. If it did do that, you could tack weld a a rod or something similar to it and then use a pair of vice grips and grab onto the welded on rod and then twist the bolt out. Might work, might not, but thought I'd mention it.
