[DeTomaso] "Looseness" resolved

[Mike Drew]

Konrad,

The driveshaft bolts have Nylok inserts. If yours don’t, they are wrong. The bolts/nuts are 7/16x20.  Replace all the nuts if they are missing the Nylok inserts. 

Also, they will loosen up slightly so it doesn’t hurt to tighten them up from time to time….
