Broken stud on heater box
On my 79 TA, I finally found time to remove the newly installed heater box and I installed a seal against the firewall.
As Murphy would have it, I broke the lower stud behind the passenger side head when reinstalling the heater box. I didn't think it was that tight when the stud broke but obviously - the king of overtightening strikes again.
Does anyone have any ideas on finding a new stud?
Any recommendation on just leaving it with only the two mounted studs and nuts. I am sure you the seal will not be uniform around the blower housing with only two studs holding.
Has anyone delt with this and what is the fix?
Does anyone have a torque spec or recommendation on the housing stud nuts?
Thanks guys.
