Re: Removing center crossmember
Finally took my body off so it’s time to drill. A poster above said the shank is 3/16” so do I need to use a 5/32” bit? The rivet head is 7/16”.

Re: Removing center crossmember
So no bracing is necessary for the center crossmember? I guess that’s only required for removing the front or rear crossmember since it obviously would free the frame rails.

Re: Brake Light Switch Backwards

Re: Brake Light Switch Backwards

I'll pull it apart tomorrow and see if...

Re: Brake Light Switch Backwards
I don't have the engine ready to fire yet, I was just testing the wiring off the battery.
I have it mounted in the correct spot, I'm using an aftermarket battery box with hydraulic brakes.

Re: Corn Head Grease Too Fluid for Gun
I have a tube in a harbor freight gun, test pumped fine. I need to pump it into my steering box. Are you guys screwing in a zerk into the fill hole for that?
