Jrod 7 Posted June 5, 2007 Right I got my tarmac inserts today so want to fit my new eccentric mounts. The mounts come with the top nut and spacer. The top nut is fine but the spacer is a tiny bit to small to slide down the un-threaded part, I'm guessing it should slide down as otherwise it leaves me quite short of threads for the top nut. Should I just get it opened up a tiny bit just so it fits on the non threaded bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

309PUG 2 1 Cars Posted June 5, 2007 I don't really wantto hammer it. how did you open them up? You really need to bore them out on a lathe or you may get away with drilling it Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted June 5, 2007 Problem solved, Used a drill and just took a very small amount of material out. I had a spare set so thought I'd try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
