Title: Subframe bolts Post by: fe van on April 21, 2021, 05:39:52 PM Hi all,
My question is for the lower subframe bolt for the sill, does the shoulder stop on the inside of the sill leaving the thread out for subframe mounting or does the shoulder go through into the subframe leg? any diagrams or info would be great thanks.

This is what is holding the subframe leg correctly in position. As Kevin says just a light file to help them through. I’ve always used subframe bullets. They make life very easy, but having access to a lathe helps.
