96' build, Foot holds/turf time !

[nikad58]

Just wondering if anyone else has glassed on their nose peice.. I cut the ears off the nose piecec so the pole bolt/bracket can be removed and will add another screw (2 each side) to hold the ears on.. I filled the stupid bumps on each side of the tray tops (gunwall?) the gas fill hole and been doing some safty reinforcing for Matt E !! haha
After foot holds and turf it's paint time !

keep in mind that those nose pieces break!!

Sweet. can't wait to take her for a spin.

looks nice... i'd like to modify that area so that the pole bolt can be removed without taking the bracket off when using a lowered pole bracket. don't know if that is your objective or not.

just cut one side of the head of the bolt

Or simply remove the 2-3 screws to remove the nose piece first. :dunno:

i cant get my pole bolt through my bracket without the nosepiece on unless the bolts cut

 

[Matt_E]

You cannot get the bolt through without the nosepiece?

 

[oxnard111]

i'm not even talking about the nose piece... with out the nose on, you still can't get the bolt out with out loosening or completely removing the pole bracket.

But cutting one side of the bolt would probably work. Every bracket is not the same so it may work with some and not others though. I think the WDK bracket is even too low to just to shave one side of the bolt's head. I know for sure it is lower than the blowsion bracket.

 

[Matt_E]

Hurr? I admit that it's been over 2-1/2 years since I've had a single pole bolt, I don't recall having trouble removing/installing it.
Probably just my ********ty memory.

sawzall on a stainless steel bolt?

not doubting you, just doesn't seem like the best choice of tools for the job.
