Not that kind of wood....
I can't seem to keep my passenger side slider out of my catalytic converter. It's been off three times, ground down three times, and unless I have a 300 (+/-) pound person stand on it while I bolt it back on, up goes the slider into the cat when I crank the nuts tight on the brackets. Driving me crazy.
So as a stop gap measure until I can get to it this weekend I knocked a wedge of wood in between the slider and the catalytic converter. Lasted three days. Some faint smell of burning wood at first but it went away, either as a figment of my imagination or I got used to it (or rolled up the windows when the monsoon rolled in). Not sure if it burned up or fell out, probably both. But it's gone so I'm back to life with one of those vibrating motel beds strapped to the bottom of my Cruiser for a few more days.
I'm going to grind it down some more but does anyone have any suggestions (besides the large human standing on the slider) for keeping the slider from creeping up like this?
Yeah, it's low-tech but it's tech!
