Doug,

Never fear my friend! I have posted this question to the CCX Owners Group. No doubt someone will be able to help. In the past I have had similar issues which I was able to overcome easily with some thought.

Here is my take on it:
1) Roto-Zip the spinning bolt off.
2) Clear the hole.
3) See if you can drill a hole at the back of the bracket for use with longer grade 8 bolt.
4) If so, you may need to sleeve the bolt so it will not crush the tube used for support.
5) I will look over thew situation on my car tonight when I get home. As with any of these cars where there is a will there is a way!
6) Don't get upset! It will all work out fine..........

Does not sound like a major problem so remember to pace yourself. I will often let an issue sit for a few days and think about how to resolve before moving forward. Remember, the Contemporary Classic Owners Group is a great resource!

I'll call you tonight on the ride home.
Jeff
