Hi Niels, these pictures will be very helpful. My plan is to order a
replacement shock plate from Moss, cut off the existing plate and weld in the
new plate, then install rebuilt shocks from Worldwide. More than I had planned
for, but you pictures will help guide me thru the process.
Thanks again.

Here is what I did on my BJ8. It?s nuts that?s welded under the plate, not
bolts. On my car one nut was loose, got it welded back in place with not too
many problems.
Also several threads were bad, fixed them with a heli coil set.
Today I would probably remove the plate and weld 4 new nuts below. There is not
much room to work on with that heli coil set.

How can the bolts be upside down? Please describe it better so we can help.

In an attempt to tighten up the front end on my BJ8, I've purchased
reconditioned armstrong shocks for the front and back. Starting into the
project, I'm already at my first challenge. On the passenger side all four
bolts are upside down and when I try to loosen the bolts just spin.
Reading through some articles by Norman Nock, it sounds like these bolts may
have at some point come loose, striped the threads on both the bolts and shock
plate, or striped off the nuts.
Does anyone have suggestions on how I should proceed?
