Clutchee
I'm fun sized!
Just like the title says.......Ashley Installed the new header on my 60 & also had a great idea during the install to line it up!
Background: previous header was warped beyond repair.....I removed & purchased a new one.....4 months later ready to move in a couple of weeks to TN & rig has to drive
Yesterday I started to reinstall the heaeder & found when tightening the 4/5 exhaust bolts it would cause the flange to allow for a gap..... ......decided to lay tools down & think. Today I decided to try again with the wifes help, she loosened all the bolts & while I pryed the heaeder from below towards the drivers tire making it flush with the flange.....success .....not for long....as soon as she tightened the bolts there was a gap
Ashley being a quick thinker said" hook a rachet strap & pull it towards the left front tire & I'll tighten er up"...........hell why not nothing else has worked.
Away we go rachet strap tight & Ashley wrenching away.............it worked!
Just goes to prove a wrenching cruiser wife comes in handy.............now for me to pay her back for the service performed
Few pictures from todays wrenching session
