Good afternoon all.

So I bought some parts over the winter. It is finally nice enough to get in the garage and start working. I went to place on my new chrome overrider and, alas, it does not fit.

Did anyone else have this problem? If so - where can I get the same bolt just a little smaller so the part will fit? I am a little irritated at Finish Line. I obviously can't return them since it has been about 5 months.

Anyone else have this problem? How did you fix?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it's still the same as when I installed my over riders many years ago, but the four over rides were not the same; the front pair mounts were slightly different than the rear pair.

there are a few things you can do if you are handy / or have the tools.
1) welder needed
find the correct bolt that screws into overriders and weld them to the ends of the bolts you have.
2) if you have a friend with a lathe have him turn and re thread the ends to your needs.
3) all thread just purchase the correct size allthread to do the job

Option #4 put over-riders in the round file. :rolleyes:

if they are the polished stainless steel you can drill them on a drill press, thats what i did, lot of work but go slow or it will burn polish job
