Sunday morning I had high hopes of changing my front shocks. Driver's side went well, but two of the passenger side shock tower retainer studs snapped off.
In lieu of spending $30-40 to replace this part, I came up with a "repair" plan that hopefully may help someone in the future that doesn't have a week to dream this up and build it. Also, I read nothing but bad things about the MOOG version of this device - for some folks the studs immediately snapped, for others the studs spun in the retainer.
I'm not yet done with this, so this is a post in progress. Basically I have thus far cut the hex off some grade 10.9, 10-1.5x25mm flange bolts and plan to either silver solder (because I have some lying around) them to the ring or tack weld. I cut the heads off because I didn't want the heads cutting into the rubber spring isolator. Used 32 TPI cheap hacksaw blade, with the bolt chucked into my drill press, set to slow. I first made some cuts at the hex points so it wasn't too bumpy.
Here are some photos.
