88 TC aka Bad Decisions Reply #16 – September 18, 2017, 05:43:29 PM On the bright side the bolts are still pretty much the same diameter as when new. I've seen some very rusty K-member bolts that were only half or less of their original thickness. Quote Selected

Yeah just eBay it. I've seen all 6 K-member bolts from a Fox Mustang listed for $50-100. Quote Selected

88 TC aka Bad Decisions Reply #22 – September 25, 2017, 07:16:59 PM Been there bud. I sandwiched a 2x3 .083 piece of box tubing in what was left of my frame rail and built off of it. Its all a challenge but I think I rebuilt my frame rails and strut towers for under $50 hardware included Quote Selected
