Reinforcement Plate Bolts Question

[0-60motorsports]

Been reusing mine plus others for 20 plus years LOL.

A couple of ugga duggas on the impact.

I did this and hit one of the bolts with too much torque. Sheared the top of the bolt off. Had to drill and use a bolt extractor to remove the bolt shaft. Won't be using an impact gun again.

I always re-use. Not that I'm cheap to buy a new set of bolts, its just I always forget about these, and then they are never in stock locally and need to wait a week to get them from somewhere. Impact those suckers and its fine. There are like 20 of them, so even if one or two are weak/busted its not the end of the world.

I have a smaller impact that can get lug nuts on at about 80 ft/lbs. I have a BFI which could rip the bolt head off. Choose wisely.
