I had deep penetrating rust at the holes in the cab brackets where the cab mount rubbers sit. Since I had one bracket off anyway, I decided to put on new brackets. These came from LMC. They look really nice except that 4 of frame-bolt holes are misaligned with respect top my frame. The 2 holes at the front-side of the frame were fixed with a bit of filing. The 2 holes on top of the frame were the most offset, and the most critical. These I want to be well aligned and have minimal slop as the torque of the cab weight pulls sideways on these bolts. Naturally, the misalignment was exactly opposite of what I'd like. Meaning that the bracket hole was inboard of the frame hole. I set out to move the holes into the correct location. I filed the hole in the bracket until I could get a bolt inserted. Then I added metal to the other side by welding. A little bit of work with a flat file and a round file then made it good.
