Hi All:
"msapers," great idea!
But, have you considered these instead of the (one time use only)zip ties?
Regards,
Alan

Hi All:
"TurnMeOver," thanks for the link. The "belly pan" looks stout!
To post more pics here on MUD spend $20 on a Silver Star (the $$ help support this site.)
Regards,
Alan

It is 3/8 sheet . It is space 1.25 from the frame and protects every thing vital . It goes to the centr of the oilpan then up to the balancer. And yes I lifted the cruiser with it and it only flexed .25 inches. Use a floor jack to install it.
After the holidays I will send in the 20 for a star. Damn this economy.

drove 4 hours round trip to pick up a roll cage and overhead rack with diamond plate for $250. It will need to be modified to fit with a hard top, but couldn't pass up the deal. Will try to post pictures soon. It is now in the driveway and we are supposed to get 12 to 18 inches of snow in the next 24 hours, so it may be buried! Cool Thread!

Getting a bit on the chilly side so installed my rear heater from the parts pig. Toasty! Also changed the oil and installed my new dome light with intact switch. Trying to figure out how to pull the steering wheel so I can swap for the much better one out of the parts rig. Any help on technique?
