oh man! business opportunity lol. They're close, but the OD is just off enough that I had to fine tune the opening on my snow wheels.

I'll swap em out and keep em for spares I guess.

Hello,

Door stoppers is a better use for those things.

Looks like we're ready to ship the strut kits....struts arrived today. Going to reach out to those of you who expressed interest in a kit with payment instructions and hopefully get these things out right after Christmas.

Replied.

Good to go on the struts....down to 1 last set...I think. Everyone who ordered and paid should have their parts Wed-Friday!

Some days it's fun to walk out to the mailbox. This was one of those days.

A top quality product .... it's nice to have 'MUD members who are willing to do the R & D on products like this.

I even included an extra pop rivet just in case....don't want anyone to think I can't count properly. Ha.

I'm accustomed to having extra hardware left over when I finish a product. I thought that was normal.

You have a drill?

You have a drill?

No but I have a "Rob".

 

[cruiserdan]

I thought so...

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I thought so...

Rob wouldn't allow me within a half a mile of any of the Cruisers with a tool.

 

[cruiserdan]

I bet it would be easier to take a drill with you on the airplane.....

My kit came in today. Look forward to installing it.

My apologies for not putting any instructions in with these kits....we will refine them as we go. This first batch is to get some feedback from.

The wide nose stuff can only fit one way but the narrow nose stuff is a little different. Here is where I mounted my parts on my 73.....

The ball stud goes where that upper bolt is on the cowl, direct replacement.

The plate is 1.75" from the front edge of the hinge to the rear edge of the new plate. Pretty basic. I believe my guy made the shape to fit perfect in that area...too high and it hangs over, too low and there is too much exposed hood area. None of this is mega critical....it will work if you're off a tad.

My truck's younger brother arrived for a stay...

Just because I couldn't figure it out doesn't mean those with an ounce of mechanical talent can't figure it out.

Hahahahaha....I had so much going on at the shop today that I didn't even stop to think about why I was sending the close up pics. Ha. I'm sure you're in good hands up there...
