So i was doing the sway bar end links on ‘Rolf’ and a bolt snapped.
No, didn’t pick up a new one and i was following some whack torque ‘guess’ from teh internet (Bentley’s actually does not give a number for this nut/bolt combo).
Now i really wanted to take the car to work tomorrow.
Had exactly the right size bolt lyin round.
It was from one of the Datsuns.
'Rolf' is now 0.0003% Japanese.
I hope it’s no big deal cause one of these days i’m doin somethin like this.

Love that it's a 4 door.
Hang up & Drive!

92 BMW 325i 179K, ‘Rolf’ ( On it's 3rd set of FCA bushings & still the cleanest )
93 Datsun NX2000 190K ‘Carla’ ( Flakey starter & rust gapes )
85 Toyo MR2 140K ‘Jerry’ ( Track toy & much more fun than a Prius )
