NISMO Powerbrace studs?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I purchased a powerbrace on here awhile ago and finally got around to installing it only to find out the studs were stripped. Tried the tap and die kit with no luck. Anybody ever had to replace these studs before (press fit) and if so where can I find a replacement.

Nismo Power Braces dont have studs...

You are talking about the front tension Rod brace right?

USAFs13 · 03-16-2014, 09:25 PM

Yes. In the rear of the brace there are two places with bolts for the sway bar.

Can you just hammer them out then get a bolt tack welded in their place?

A rivetnut is a light duty fastener. Do NOT use one to hold your sway bar on.
