Happens to a lot of Mustangs. The floor pans are thin and flimsy and the stud in the floor will eventually pull out. I'm guessing that this was in the '86 since the SSP cars (your '91 ex-CHP) have reinforced floor pans.<br /><br />Anyway, this is how I fixed it. I took the car to my step-dad's shop, pulled the seat and peeled back the carpeting. Then I got a square piece of thin steel (about 3"x3" and 3/16" thick). I drilled a hole in the center so I could pass a bolt through it and tack welded the bolt to the plate. The bolt should be the same thread and size as the stud that broke. Then the plate with the bolt in it was welded in place of the broken stud.<br /><br />It's a pain in the ass but there it is. Good luck. <br /><br />Sean. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>86GT5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 2136</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,18,22,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thanks for the help. it was in the 91 not the 86. i gess i drive to hard. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sean90GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 33</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,19,7,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 86GT5.0:<br /><strong> thanks for the help. it was in the 91 not the 86. i gess i drive to hard. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"><img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> That's what I like to hear! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
