[QUOTE="nepondguy, post: 95057, member: 7429"] It is tough to inspect these bolts as they are buried deep in the machine so inspection would require removing a few panels and the seat. Regardless, i believe I have figured out how this happened. This mounting assembly was replaced about 10 years ago. It looks like the alignment pins were not put back in at that point. Those pins are nonexistent and the holes look untouched. So that being said the bolts had to clamp it as well as hold the rotational force. Clearly over time they failed. I will try and post a picture. It seems like I should be able to drill and tap from the top and then use heli coils or larger bolts. Wish me luck! [/QUOTE]
