B B B B I checked the previously done side and found that indeed the outboard
bolts have a captive nut at the bottom.

Upper Shock Tower Bolts
B
B B B B <snip> the mounting bolts
for the
upper fulcrum are all wonky. The front inboard one is a bolt and nut
and looks
like the DPO put that in when he stripped the captive nut. The two
outboard
bolts each had 3 lock washers and the end of the bolt threads look
like they
were stripped.B B B B The outboard fulcrum mounting
bolt holes bottom out
after about 5 or 6 threads. Is it possible that the DPO
sheared off the bolts
last time he did this? Are the bolt holes supposed to
bottom out like that?

Bill: The outer are bolt and nut. Moss has them as
322-025 and
310-050.
The inner are Cap Screws (322-060).

I canbt recall from
doing mine if the bolt/cap
screw differ dimensionally (thread, length
diameter). Ibd order 2 of each
in case the DPO slung any old bolts in there,
and then decide what needs doing with
the captive nuts, if anything.

that I break things that aren't
broken and it was okay until I tried to fix it.

That
seems a bit bloody harsh. Given the role the items in
question have in getting
the car to go where you want it to, and that you are
fixing anotherbs bodge.
