    Good alternative for weld studs?

    I decided to strip, spot blast and re-coat my transmission tunnel as it is rusty and ugly. However some of the weld studs are snapping off in the process. Any good ideas how to address this? I was thinking of just sticking a screw through from the inside and weld it..

    You could try rivet studs. That way you don't have to move carpet out of the way, to insert screws from inside.

        Rivet studs is a good idea.
        I've found N90261401 and N90716103 which could be applied with a normal rivet plier. Seems a good alternative. Will ask on monday if the stealer still has them.

              This is a great find! I will be installing the B4 left foot rest with these into my Coupe next week.
