    Question LATCH manual question

    We just got a 1990 Honda Accord for our teenage driver. I would like to put at least one TA in it. I can see where the TA's are supposed to go. I would like to know if the LATCH manual specifies what size the bolt needs to be to fit the nut. TIA

    Harmony Defender harness is too short.

    what front does the forum use?

    So I got a bug in my bonnet and unwisely decided to house clean my font folder. I must have deleted the font that the forum uses because now everything looks different. Would you mind telling me which font is used so i can restore it to my font folder? Luckily I did make a backup copy. TIA
