Kf bulkhead

[Stevebolt]

Got a couple of kf's with striped shock tower fixings on the bulkhead , any cheeky fixes for this or is it new bulkheads .

I've seen some with the back of the boss removed with a dremel and a nut fitted behind the plastic instead.
Not sure if it would be as strong but it might be an option...

Pilot drill, 2.5mm, though the hole and out other side at the same angle as the hole in the bulkhead. Then screw in a M3 20-25mm set screw until there is only 10mm sticking out the front. Push the tower and shock guard on, and secure with a couple of washers and nyloc nuts.

Could you point me in the direction of the set screw please.

If you cant get set screws and you have a dremel,use a cap head bolt
put a nut on first so it cleans the threads after..then.cut the head off
the bolt,i used some red threadlock so the stud doesn't undo itself
when you undo the nut..works a treat
