the slo-vo build thread...

it aint too bad...figured they'd all break so im happy with just 2 top bolts

I can send ya a pic of the harley jig, I think? Basically ya bolt it to the corresponding blot on the same port, swing it around and then drill away! Keeps 'er straight and aligned. Used 'em several time with bikes in the frame. Sure ya could fab up something with some plate, a drill press and a bolt!

Grind off stud flush, bolt jig in corresponding bolt hole or onto stud, wing around and tighten down, put bit thru hole, drill away! Oh, if ya notice the back of it has a raised porotion that protrudes into the exhaust port to keep 'er aligned!!!

You put your hand (the adjustable wrench) and torqued it too hard jon-boy.

Ain't it just wonderful that when all of us have these projects going on we can count on each other to give us some helpful advice or remedies and also push dem buttons as hard as we can on each other! Knowing that when we do finally meet each other on the trail, we'll help each other out if need be and get along just fine, even when you guys are ribbin me for not being able to drive my "thank you very much RangerSVT for the SAS rig" as good as I should be able to since I'm outa practice!

Is that after ya get done peelin all the bark off the trees to make the trail wider for us, or sucking the lake level down so it's not so deep? Ya sure it was the water, maybe ya sucked a crappie or bass in there. New fishing method?

I bet ya never ordered the wrong ring & pinion though.
