More on stripped subframe bolts

[Marc Swanson]

> I found the bolt to be stripped  Having experiance with Heli-Coil I decided to go that route.

David,

I was curious as well about all the buzz on the list about not using
helicoil on the subframe nuts.  Stripped one on my 4ktq a while back.
Decided that cutting into the body to replace the nut was silly and went
with the helicoil route.  Works fantastic.  Torqued to spec and holding
fine 10k miles later.
