guys that I already shipped to do not use the niloc bolts that I sent for some reason they are to small and will strip the ball bolt. go out to your local hardware store and take your ball post and find the bolts that will work with them. for some reason the thread pattern is different than I first thought. they are only 60 cents if that. I will send anyone a set if they want me to or I can refund you 1 dollor on paypal if you want. I will explain this better on the video. If you have already broken the ball let me know and I will send you another set asap. I do apologize for the mix up on the bolts.

I am getting those out to you soon. again I apologize for the problem. I had put the bolt on there and did not tightn it down the entire way. I made an assumption and it made me look like an XXX. If any one else needs new studs and bolts let me know and I will get those out to you at no charge since I made the mistake.

New thread size requires a 5/16" - 18 hex nut.

available at any autoparts store or hardware store for under $1.

Oh no! What a huge inconvenience!


(I'm kidding)
Seriously though don't beat yourself up. You basically came out of retirement to build these things for us at virtually no profit just because we asked. I'll swing by home depot in the morning.

what I did was go off of my old specs and because these uses a longer stud for ease of installation but this new company uses a different thread pitch. I put a bolt on there and it started just fine but I did not screw it all the way down. but now I know so any orders that go out from here on out will be right. thanks for understanding.

video is finishing up right now so I will post it if it works.
