[QUOTE="crash2, post: 825846, member: 15940"] So I went ahead and tacked the tab to the steering arm and drilled my pilot hole and then removed the tab and fully drilled the holes. For this one I am using 1/2" bolts. I have heard of people tapping the knuckle but its only a tad over 1/4" thick and IMO not thick enough to tap and be able to rely on it... [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album13/jack94.jpg[/IMG] Here you can see the area you are trying to nail. Its a purfect cubby hole for the bolt head to sit in... [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album13/jack95.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album13/jack96.jpg[/IMG] The only problem with the cubby hole is the edges are kinda round. So I went and used my die grinder bits to cut the roundness down so the bolt head sits pretty flush to the knuckle... [/QUOTE]
