[DeTomaso] [SDP] RE: Headlight shake fix

[Rick Shawver]

I used 1/2 flat bar stock from Home Depot or Lowes and tapped it for the
thread size the bolts used.  You really can't get to the forward bolt to
put a nut on it with the radiator installed so tapping is a must.  It's
been working pretty well for several years now.

thanks Rick
