OK, well, lets not take it THAT far! But I DID make my own hollow bolt!

Ive been trying to find the right size hollow bolt to re-mount my turn sigs directly to the fender, re-wiring them thru the bolt (so I dont have to drill an extra hole in the fender. Well, apparently you cant readily find one.

So! I took the old, looong, mounting bolts, drilled a partial thru-hole on the lathe, cut em off and tapped new threads on em.

Gonna gloat a while, then mount the sigs...

 

Get them mounted and post some pics! Pretty cool what you can do when you need to isn't it?

 

next thing you'll be buildin em from the ground up and gettin $40k+ to do it!

btw...pretty much all good fastener stores have hollow bolts. I know McFadden-Dale near me does. Maybe you don't have something like that near you.

 

PIX??? You do know that without em it didn't happen right?

 

Nice!! Just make sure you ream the sharp edges so the vibs don,t cut into the wires..

+1 on the pictures

 

Great deal. Can't imagine what a stealership would had charged for fabbing up your handywork.

 

 

Here ya go. Started with the long bolt (cuz thats what I had at midnight when I got home form work and found out the bolts I ordered were wrong) and ended up with the short one.

 

LMFAO you just posted a VERY NICE picture of BOLTS!

hahahhaha!

nice job, btw...when I drilled some they came out nowhere near as nice

 

HOLY... bolts!?!?

good work.
