MAG-FORM
®
BOLTS AND STUDS
• Special Mag-For
m bolts and studs are used to fasten
dashboard components and electrical grounds to the
magnesium steering hanger beam.
• These bolts hav
e a 105° flank angle that self-forms
threads into the beam as the bolt is installed.
• If any hole in the beam is stripped, it can be repaired by
order
ing a +1 mm oversize service bolt or stud.
• MAG-Form s
ervice bolts will form the new repair
threads during installation – no drilling or tapping required.
• Always use a torque wrench to tighten MAG-Fo
rm bolts
or studs to the specifications in the service manual.
• Do not use power tools because the threads formed in the
magnes
ium steering hanger beam are easily stripped.
• If an oversize ser
vice bolt or stud has been installed and
strips, the steering hanger beam must be replaced.
