  • bolts coming loose???!!!

    I have a situation here. I have bolts coming loose on my BP swap! I have the no crossmember set up and my tranny mount bolts keep coming loose. And the bolts that hide on the clutch cable adapter also the cable fork adjustment bolt as well! Anyone else here have that prob? I know its a simple fix with lock tight and a locking nut on the cable nut but what the heck? Is it because of vibration? Should I just go through and check all bolts now? My down pipe bolts came loose to! So it was open header all of a sudden. I thought those would stay on with tension. Anyone with a similar experience? This is why I named the car relentless, because it fights me on every little thing.

          As much as I hate the fact that this happens to other people I still find it a major relief that it isn't just me and that I didn't screw up something majorly . Thanks for the response bros

            Knowing that I'm dealing with the same stuff as 2 legends makes me feel better :-)
