Tim, make sure you QC stuff while panels are tacked then have the welder finish welding when a checklist of each seam is verified as good fit. Like how they build bridge beams in a shop.
……Update……finally had time to look at this closer. Odometer working great again. Just took the unit out and flicked it with a small screwdriver. Drove it around all day and back to normal. Should be good for another 45 years! Probably just a little stuck from not driving for awhile - pretty...
Anybody have an odometer issue? My odometer is currently stuck on 87200. The tenths of a mile column keeps spinning so I guess the cable is still good. Wondering if those can just have the glass taken off and with a small screwdriver just give it a little nudge ?
Worked good just ran a 7/16”x20 die down the stud. The slightly smaller die cut in some nice threads. Plus the standard castle nuts are about a 1/3 the price of the ridiculously overpriced metric nuts
I think Toyota used steel with just so many impurities. My internationals just unbolt no problem. Usually my Fords are pretty good too. Yeah not a bad idea with the bolt, I’ll try that if the rethreading doesn’t work
