I've made so many trips to my local value home center and their stainless nut and bolt section I'm starting to get funny looks
Ok ... So mat and I worked on our bobs some today... I'll let him update his stuff on his thread ... I got my ATP intake grate installed .. Kind of ended up being a pain .. The front of the grate had to have the corners and bottom edges ground down to fit flat into the space on the hull .. Also the front 2 inserts were set deeper into the hull than the supplied bolts would work with so back to value home center for more bolts ... All they had were ones that were too long so I had to cut them down to the correct size ... After all the bull crap it's finally in ....
I also got the motor set in and started to get it shimed up ... If anyone knows someone that is about 3 inches tall that can get in there to see the couplers send them my way ... Holy no room !!...
Crap... I just ordered the ATP grate to go in my new BOB Gen3 (hull should be shipped next week). You didn't happen to snap any pics of your grinding job before you installed it did you? Do you recall the length you cut the mounting bolts to?
Thanks,
Bill
I didn't take pics ..sorry .. I had to grind only the front part of the grate on the sides .. Round off the bottom of it so the grate sits flush with the bottom of the hull .... As far as the bolts go all I had access to we're m6 - 100 -30.... I think if you can find m6-100-25 they would be perfect ...
The red hood straps should be on your door step shortly. Went out USPS priority mail on Friday.
Thanks man ... It's very hard ... She's a daredevil too so she is always trying to climb everything ... At only 14 months she is going to be a handful when she's older ..Dude props to you for trying to work with a little one running a muck! I just wait for my little duo (2.5y/o girl and 18mo boy) to take a nap. Gives me about 4 hours total per weekend lol...
Looking good keep it up!
