Default moser 12 bolt through bolts?

is it possible to drill through the moser 12 bolt and put through bolts on the torque arm? my top bolts came out and forced me to rent a u-haul from the track

stripped the threads on top of the axle and bent the bracket...i have the tooling to do any machine work ill need to get this problem SOLVED

I don't think you can drill all the way through. Need to google "safety wire". This is an easy fix.

Mine also came loose.
I drilled the bolts for safety cable. I used locktight and used lock washers under bolts. With the 3 locking features, I never had a bolt loosen on my 12 bolt.

Safety wire is the best way to make sure the bolts don't loosen back up. Bob

Doesn't drilling the bolts weaken the bolt head so that it may break when you tighten it or loosen it?

You just need a small hole that is chamfered on each end for the wire. I work at a aircraft engine manufacturer and every external bolt & nut is safety cabled. Never heard of the bolt breaking.

thanks for the information. I'll do this when I put my 12 bolt back in.
