calperin Posted September 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 20, 2014 I think that I'm not the first one, but finally I make it. Not realize that was doing to much effort and finally broke the bolt on the right side of the driver seat. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks, :whistling::whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted September 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 20, 2014 Hi Carlos If you still have one bolt I wouldnt worry about it. You could grind down the bolt head of a suitable bolt and JB weld it to the seat pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calperin Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted September 20, 2014 Jay, Yes I have it Ok, and also the broken part of the bolt in the nut. I'll unscrew it, but I tried not to open the whole seat to replace it. I don't know if already somebody did it, or may be I should do it when I do the buttler seat modification... :detective::detective: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted September 22, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2014 mr Butler did a good job on my seat and repaired a broken bolt for me while he had it. give him shout and see if he can fix you up and by the way I rode mine for two years with one bolt broken.

Rick Butler Posted September 22, 2014 Share #8 Posted September 22, 2014 Carlos, I've replaced them countless times when I rework a seat and I don't charge extra to do it. I just drill and tap the insert and then run a stainless allen bolt down from the inside and it's better than new.
