drilled too many holes for my top mounts... problem?

[sam JFM]

Afternoon chaps,


i went a slightly gungho and forgot that i had bought the strut brace with my top mounts from pure motorsport.


as a result i have drilled two sets of holes question is... will this cause a real problem with strength? and worth while getting the redundant holes welded up?



im thinking it will be fine?

Given the way the puremotorsport top mount/strut brace clamps the turret i can't see it being a problem at all.

I'd get some treatment protection on the exposed holes though are aren't used, ASAP. No reason to invite rust into such a strength-essential area.

It'll be fine.
Deburr the holes and paint them.

Might make it go a tiny bit faster too.

I'm quite impressed how neat I got them really lol

Drill some more.

More holes is never good!
