Clean the indention area off first. Take the mounting plate and turn it upside down. Place it in the ridge with any side up. You can FEEL it slot into the arch. Draw your center hole. Center punch hard. Take the smaller step bit (Harbor Freight) and step it through all the sizes. Next chuck up the larger bit and take it step by step until the center hole of the plate fits. Next draw the bottom hole only. Use the smaller step bit about half way or you will drill into the inside brace. Chuck the larger bit up and step the hole to about 19mm (3/4"). Fit plate again and mark two upper hole. Using the smaller bit again step it to 3/4" ONE hole at a time. Check the plate fit. You may have to open the holes ONE size larger on the step bit. Last picture is of the tank side.. Clean up holes and get ready to to welding preparation. Hope this will help you in your job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I did that very similarly except instead of buying the larger step drill I mounted the plate and tack welded it in...then drilled the bushing hole out with the same step drill and got a cartridge roll on a angle air die grinder to grind it out the rest of the way to the nut plate.
Front sway bar is a nice improvement. Nice work. I ended up "rust painting" in that area...."while I was there". |
