Considering that is my car, I think I would know. I pulled them from an early 90s civic hatch, though I cannot remember if it was the square or rounded body style.

 

Sorry, but this made me giggle...   :rofl:

 

Reason I suggested new was they are fairly cheap and it requires no junk yard hunting. They just show up at your door and look pretty.   :thumbup:

Not sure why you would want to go from a no slop taper to a sloppy through bolt, though.

 

 

What the hell are you talking about? I will try not to put the 1/2"bolt in the 5/8" hole.

 

 

 

He's talking about the fact that a taper has an interface with 0 gaps and more surface contact while a through hole will always have some gap even if you ream it to final size and has less surface contact which means a weaker joint. If you think about how hard it is to remove a tie-rod end compared to a bolt you'll realize it's a lot stronger of a connection with no slop compared to the bolt connection. Simply put, an interference fit is stronger and tighter than a through hole slip fit.

That's just the way he rolls. If he see's something on E Bay and it says it will fit a 510 he buys it. Weather it works or not. The heim joint thing. Cause race wagon....

So bumpers look like better then new. Shaved the License plate holes and decided to run the guards. Just waiting now on the NOS bumper guard rubbers.

 

Might not be getting body work love but everything else is cumming to play.

Did the fenders come back from chrome yet? :rofl:
