I NEED HELP!!! IPO (Ignorant Previous Owner) when i bought my car almost 2 years ago (4600mi), previous owner told me he put on a MAC girdle. i was looking to change the diff fluid for spring and noticed that one of the pre-load bolts had been tightned to the point that the internal hex or torx has split the bolt apart. i'm sure i can get it out with vise grips, but does anybody make replacement bolts for this? i've never been into one of these covers before, so before i take it apart, i want the parts on hand to fix it. can you take the "feet" off the inside and put in a regular bolt then re-attach the "feet", or is it special? any help would be appreciated, i don't want to have to buy another cover due to 1 broken bolt.

UPDATE:just took off the cover to realize that there is no way to use another style bolt. the end of the mac bolt has a "mushroom" on the bottom (inside diff) that the foot snaps onto. i contacted mac about the problem and i'm awaiting an answer.

you have to search "mac exhaust" i only remembered that yesterday after i saw the emblem on the cover. years ago i bought a ORY pipe from them for a 99 T/A. so i tagged on "exhaust" on the end of "mac" and found them.
