[QUOTE="Tob, post: 11109259, member: 83412"] Unusually warm weather was the motivation behind taking care of a small but rather important detail today - the rear mounting point. One too many bowls of Lucky Charms resulted in an extended sitting in the "library" and provided an inspirational solution... I decided to drill the rocker and then weld in a nut, giving me a similar fastening juncture as the '12 Boss offers up. Whipping out my favorite tool as of late, a hand grinder with a 4" cutting disc, I ground down the points of a flanged nut. That way I wouldn't have to drill out as large of a hole to fit the nut into. [ATTACH=full]239726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]239727[/ATTACH] I tried to fit everything so that the nut would have a nice, snug fit when pulled through the hole from the top and welded in place. I verified fitment by slipping the nut up from the bottom... [ATTACH=full]239728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]239729[/ATTACH] Satisfied with mock up, I removed the surrounding area of paint and then slipped the ground nuts up into the oblong hole and maneuvered them down into their respective drilled holes. [ATTACH=full]239730[/ATTACH] Shielding the gas tanks and tires with my deflector of choice, I aimed light onto the work area to help see where I needed to weld. Hood in place, I laid on my back and fused everything together... [ATTACH=full]239731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]239732[/ATTACH] Once welded, I scuffed the work area and hit it with some primer... [ATTACH=full]239733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]239734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]239735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]239736[/ATTACH] Now I can bolt the exit end of the pipe into place, as factory. When the stainless pipe I ordered up comes in I'll get to work on the other end. Tob [/QUOTE]
