So I decided i would start drilling the holes for my Tarret front sway bar. I had downloaded the instructions from Pelican parts read through them a few times. I cut out the template and marked my holes. I drilled the bottom hole, and got the bright idea, that I would put bolts in the Tarret backing plate to verify and check my holes.
Much to my surprise my hole was wrong....then it dawned on me the Pelican parts instructions were for a stock sway bar...mine was Tarrett... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So now my 2 minute hole is going to cost me about 4 hours of welding and grinding to build a tiny plate to weld the hole shut.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And all i had to do was match the template to the part and save me all of the trouble..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) More often than not, the default for printing mode is "Scale size to fit media" in which case who knows what size you'll end up with. Been there, done that ...
