Default Broke SFC bolt

I was installing my SLP SFCs and I ended up breaking one of the bolts that holds the tunnel brace under the Driveshaft. How bad of a thing is this? Should I really worry about it in the meantime before I drill/tap it? Thanks

I wouldn't worry a whole lot but you do intend to drill & tap it out later right?

You could just drill it out and use a nut instead of tapping the hole, use a grade 8 bolt/nut and torque to 27 ft/lbs. I would suggest you do this sooner rather then later, no sense in putting an extra strain on the one bolt that is holding it to the tunnel brace area. JMO
