hey all, I am trying to install my sparco harness but am running into a prob. The bolts that come on the harness are just a tade to big for my 240. I cant swap bolts either cause sparco has special bolts attached that I cannot get off. Any ideas on how to get these suckers on?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

where are you trying to attach these things to? you might have to drill new holes

If theyre close in size, you should be able to drill and tap the holes to make them work.

Tap the hole?

Also if I drill a new hole will it not rust? Is there something I can do after I drill the hole prevent it from rusting?

sure........prime and paint just like you would the rest of the car

Yeah, that should work...drill the hole and then prime / paint so it wont rust or anyshit...
