Now as you know I'm with the BD school of mechanics
It always ends badly if i even go near a spanner
Checking the bolts on the belly up skid plate before my trip to Gatesgarth Pass this weekend I find that they don't do up really tight, but seem to spin
I vaguely recall reading on one of the US forums that they use some weird nut for this
does anybody know if i can get new ones and where or is there a better solution?
Ta ever so chaps
Regards Tim

 I took my factory bolts to the local bolts and nuts supplier and got them to give me ones to the length I needed.

Sort of ....Can I have 6 at whatever length like this and with the same thread please Mr shopkeeper?

Thread identification is still a black art to me

do the bolts come back out? if so it would sound like the backing nut needs a spanner on it when you do it up

I don't have thread pitch issues. Years ago the old fella picked up a thread file/pitch checker. Bit of square tempered steel with toothed thread pitch different one on each side and end. So 8 different pitches. Bloody handy tool.

Tis a pain when your Jeep is held together with Imperial or standard as the septics call it and also Metric...or Catholic as a mate of mine calls it.

Just search for thread file, loads come up on line.

They use heavy duty nutserts to fasten the bolts to the frame on the TJ. I have no idea what vehicle you have but the TJ nutserts and bolts can be bought from the blackmagicbrakes.com co-operative section

I see that now the alcohol has worn off.

Here's a direct link to the nutserts page. Nutserts can be bought on there own or with new mounting hardware.

i'll get some spot welds on the not serts that install in the chassis
if that doesn't work then will get some new ones from US of A

[Jonny Jeep]

Mine are actually spot welded in from the factory. For some reason I think they stopped the tack welds in later years.
