Need a couple pics

[Dan]

I just picked up a 2-tier brushguard and need a couple pics of the mounting areas.

- A pic of the lower grill showing what I need to cut for the lower mounts.

- A pic so I can see what the spacers for the upper mounts look like.

Those two would help a ton. Thanks in advance!

Dear Dan,

While I suspect this is probably better placed in the Technical Discussion/Customizing portion of the site, I am happy to oblige, to the small extent that I am able.

Here is a photo of the spacers. Unfortuanely, I'm getting a little body repair thanks to a 5150 homeless fellow with a shopping cart. If no one posts pix of the side cuts on the lower grille before I get my truck bak, I will post some then.

Thanks tower! I should be able to find a substitute at Depot.

Dan,

The bushings are 13/16ths inches long.
O.D. is 1"
I.D. is 1/2"
But any hole large enough to accept the 8mm bolt will do.

Until I got these, I used some "washers by the pound" from OSH (about $1.65). You will need a pair of lomger replacement bolts: M8 x 1.25 x 55 or 60mm. The original 40mm ones are too short to reach through the spacers.

Thats 8mm diamete, thread pitch of 1 1/4 t/mm, and a length of 55 or 60 milimeters. Hve fun & enjoy the new grilleguard.

I love it when the boys help each other out. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif


I need pics too, doesn't Frank6150 have one of those? Maybe he could stand next to it for scale and all. I heard he was pretty gifted when it comes to those sort of things. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Awesome, that will save me even more time in the hardware aisle. Thanks again tower! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Here's a side shot of the lower grille. Tin snips cut it like butter.

Dan,

Just did this last week, took multiple cuts on the depth as I couldn;t find much reference to it:http://fototime.com/72D5435E929D12D/standard.jpg

On my sample, here're the rough measurements:

I started the top horizontal cut approx 11/16" from the top, cut the horizontals 2.25" back to front, the vertical cut was 3".

Does it make sense?
