    I wasn't to impressed on how the PO "fixed" the broken front shock mounts. I removed the tab, fabbed up some replacement pins and then drilled out the original pins to replaced them.
    I used 5/8 bolts, chucked them in my drill press and used a grinder and file to reduce the end to 1/2 for threading.
