Topic: MOD DAY OF DOOM! - January 31, 2009

[Bobby B.]

Hey Mitch, can you mic the ID, OD and length of the various bits and pieces before yours goes in?

[XterracerX]

Great! Thanks Bobby!

I have a hydraulic jack, jackstands, a compressor (with tools) and some wrench tools I can bring...

We will see what can be done on Saturday.  We may be able to do something with Chris' gasoline and Spenser's propane torch.

I was speaking with Rachel last night. She offered the use of her torch. I don't know what sort of fuel it uses, but I have a feeling it puts out substantially more heat than some little propane torch.

Also, Heather was just asking me if this was a "clothing optional" mod day. Something about wondering if she needed to do laundry Friday night.  I did not see anything in the previous pages.

Concidering who is going to be there, clothing will be required.

Bobby, I will try to get the messurements tomorrow.  My micrometer needs new batteries.

[Soylent Yellow]

Here are the measurements.

3 pieces - 68.67mm long X 25.5mm OD X 13.9mm ID (2.7 in. X 1 in. X 0.54 in.)

1 piece - 47.86 mm long X 25.5mm OD X 13.9mm ID (1.9 in. X 1 in. X 0.54 in.)

I hope this helps but I doubt you'll be able to find this stuff easily.  I suggest you call your source and see if you were shorted some parts or if the kit is suppose to use the stock inserts somehow.

BTW, we will me having chili and hot dogs for lunch.  If someone could bring some chips or sodas or something to go along with that, that would be terrific.

Fred, did that kit come with the metal tube parts that go in the bushings?  Or was it just the bushings.

SLR's kits came with pieces of DOM stock that went in there. 

Yes mine has the metal stock , which goes in the middle of the bushings. Energys might have thiers done in the one piece format.

Fred all considering , I dont think you need to put yourself though this stress. Stress is bad . I am doing my diff drop since I am lifted and have aftermarket UCAs. I have some issues I am doing this to resolve. We have options with yours.

1- Wait to do the drop on yours later
2-use the stock ones
3-measure the stock from my kit and do a hardware run. Mitch will have to assist since this is is area.
4-call bruce and ask WTF since he sold the kit and will have to support it

I'll be there.  No work that needs to be done, so I'll just supervise, and occasionally channel Fire Marshall / Safety Inspector Dan.  Unless, of course, Dan shows up, in which case he can do that himself.

Dont forget the Sweats .....XL

Chris, I've got an XL sweat shirt set aside for you (by the way, did you want one or two?).   I'll bring it and the whole box with my on Saturday, in case anyone else wants one.

We have 1 more XL hooded sweat shirt (unless Chris wanted 2), 3 size L hooded sweat shirts, and 2 each XL long and short sleeve t-shirts left.

[Bobby B.]

I don't think a torch is necessary, unless you're going for one of those youtube moments.  In which case, I want it filmed.

I think a drill and holesaw might be a better approach.  Maybe a sawzall.  That's always fun.

[FrankB]
