Stripped mounts

[6spdls1z28]

Most of the mounts on my Tri z frame are stripped out what do you guys do to fix them

Never had to do it, but I did replace the front motor mount bolt with an 8 mm bolt. Is there enough meat there for you to drill them out and tap them to 8 mm?

There is just didn't want to drill it. The one that is bothering me is the air box cover mount. I have a top mount tank and that hole is done for.

On the front mounts you could drill though and use nuts.

For the tabs I would try these. You can install them without the tool if need be

They are used on a lot of bikes going back at least 25 years. Let me know if you need any instruction installing them.

I'm surprised nobody has tried these for the peg mounts

They probably aren’t strong enough for foot pegs. Due to how they fasten they can’t be made of hard steel and they are quite thin. Brackets and covers only I’m afraid.

Years ago, I was making threaded spacers.

I cut off the complete stock mount, remove the junk threaded collar they use, insert mine, weld it up, then weld onto the frame, fixed forever.

Did a few, then people started repairing the threads as a cheap fix, it doesn't last..

When I'm ready to strip the bike down for the frame to get powder coated I'm definitely going to be welding a lot of these mounts up

How do you install them without the riviter? Couple of s?

How do you install them without the riviter? Couple of s?

- Drill the correct sized hole same size, or .002" smaller than the rivnut diameter
- Put a little anti-seize on a 20mm long socket cap bolt. Length doesn't matter as long as its long enough
- Hold the bolt and spin a nut half way up the bolt thread, then a flat washer and thread the bolt into the rivnut (so, bolt, nut, washer rivnut)
- Gently tap the rivnut into the hole
- Spin the nut down till the washer is snug against the head of the rivnut
- Hold the bolt with an Allan key and turn the nut down with a wrench. This draws the rivnut up against the back of the mounting surface
- When it's properly mushroomed you can back out the bolt and do another one

You'll want to practice a bit till you get the feel for it. It doesn't take much and you don't want to overdo it.
