I need to replace the stripped T case bolts with studs for the propeller rear engine mount V8 conversion...a few of the members mentioned there was thread in detail about doing the studs...cant seem to find any...
I don't wanna mess this up and I want to do it right so I can move on.leak free (haha)
My Plan:
1. tap up to the next size thread on t case
2. install proper length + size grade 8 threaded studs with locktight.
3. clean and install propeller mount and cover with RTV.
4. tighten down mount and cover plate with grade 8 nylock nuts
Please chime in if there is a better way.
I want to try this first....but If this doesn't work out I plan on ditching the propeller mount and having my bro fab me up a lower mount under the T350.
Any incite,pictures or experience be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Benjamin
