HELP needed with my backdraft cobra!!!
I drag race my backdraft cobra and I have a serious problem with the rear differential getting loose and breaking the grade 8 lower bolt that holds it in place. When it breaks we have to use a point chisel to remove the broke bolt. I am looking at the solid mounts that backdraft sells and going to switch them out to solid. I am afraid to use lock tite cause then I won't be able to remove the broke bolt. I have been tighting the bolts every time I race but it is not enough. Please I need some advise here. Thank you

If my memory is correct the older cars had a 12mm bolt. They later went to a 14mm bolt. Do you know which you have?
Seems like a couple years ago I saw someone post about an upgrade for this. Was a kit that was used on the E36's that worked on our cars. Will see if I can find it. |
I have he later 14 mm bolt My production number is #990

|
Mine already has the 14 mm bolt. Will this kit help me more?
|
The OP seemed to think it helped. I have never seen the kit in person or have any experience with it. Just thought I would post it as an option. I think there were a couple other people that used this. Try doing in search in the Backdraft section, I think this subject has been talked about a couple times.

Thank you

You need solid diff and cage mounts if you are dragging. What engine do you have? What tires? Sometimes a softer bolt is better as they are less brittle.
