There needs to be a tips and tricks thread for this thing; I'm not knocking the instructions Summit Cruisers Jr. has included, but I am confused by the bumper side gas strut ball(lug). I have room for maybe an 1/8" thick nut between the wing trim support and the supplied 2x4 that holds the spindle carrier. Just the plastic trim and the thickness of the trim support doesn't seem like much support for the ball stud. Was there a revision to this?
My advise so far:
Read the instructions more closely than I did!
Allow yourself time to get it done.
I had about a month gap between initial welding day, and second install session. In that time, I moved pretty much all of the parts and pieces at least twice.
As of today, I am still missing a m8 tap, and the bolts to mount my latch because I never went back and read the instructions again. Don't follow my lead.
PM replied to, but for anyone else wondering, the ball stud assembly is held in place by the 2x4 outrigger after it is drilled and tapped.
This is how the hole looks from above the bumper wing, going through the skeleton, and into the 2x4 outrigger.

The latch gets welded on, and the zerks are tapped into the bearing housing.
So plans on a new batch? Thanks
Need a solution for my spare, really hoping that next batch comes along soon as this is exactly what I've been looking for.
PmdI have a kit available. Bought ilast year but do not know how to weld them now , so pm me if someone would buy it!
