Re: 311 Bolster Support Legs
 

Hey Bird,

Kinda like my bolsters? Muscle and a big friggin screwdriver. I think I'll take mine out in the spring and find out what's up with it also. Do you think the weld is broken?

P.S. The neck hurts and I am bored!

LOL :D :D

I'll bet it does dude. But, hopefully it will be much better in the long run. You shouldn't be too bored, you have engine parts to shop for. :eek:

Good news - I got a large philips head screw driver and a heavy hammer. Whacked the top of the driver while turning it and the screws came out. :D Not corroded at all; looks like they had Locktite on them. Leg is at the welders and I should get it back Monday. Now if I can just get PL Porter to return my calls ... :mad:

Good for you!!!! :cool:

Make sure your welder-dude gives the legs a full fillet weld on TOP of the plate. There is no weld joint geometry under the plate. They welded it that way so it wouldn't show. Done nicely, a full fillet stainless weld is wonderful thing to behold. :cool: TIG it and will look way-nice - plus it will hold forever. :D

I didn't think you would have problems.

I remembered that I took a large phillips screwdriver and locked a big pair of vice grips on it and put as much downward pressure as I could and turned the vice grips.

Just make sure tha welder has the alignment right when he welds or your screw holes won't line up.
