I hope this don’t sound too awfully much like a dumb question.
I have my OME kit on and I notice that the U-bolt ends stick down pretty far. I want to cut those ends off. Cutting, as you know, makes things hot. Does heating a U-bolt damage it in any way? I guess I was thinking maybe these things are tempered or heat-treated and heating them might change something in the metal. I thought I’d cut ‘em with a sawzall right close to the nut and then clean ‘em up with a grinder.
Any thoughts? Any tips?
Thanks.
