I noticed my hood latch bracket was broken, by the grace of God, in my driveway and not on the road. I bought a replacement from the junkyard but I have a problem, the bolt on the left side (passenger) will not tighten to the nut that is welded to the frame. I think this is what caused my old bracket to fail; the left side was loose which caused the right side to crack and fail?
Any rate, I tried several bolts on that nut on the left side and none will tighten so the nut threads must be stripped. I though of getting a longer bold and just back it with another nut but access is nearly impossible, any other ideas so I can get my car back on the road?
