I just picked up a 2-tier brushguard and need a couple pics of the mounting areas.

- A pic of the lower grill showing what I need to cut for the lower mounts.

- A pic so I can see what the spacers for the upper mounts look like.

Those two would help a ton. Thanks in advance!

Dear Dan,

While I suspect this is probably better placed in the Technical Discussion/Customizing portion of the site, I am happy to oblige, to the small extent that I am able.

Here is a photo of the spacers. Unfortuanely, I'm getting a little body repair thanks to a 5150 homeless fellow with a shopping cart. If no one posts pix of the side cuts on the lower grille before I get my truck bak, I will post some then.

Thanks tower! I should be able to find a substitute at Depot.

Dan,

The bushings are 13/16ths inches long.
O.D. is 1"
I.D. is 1/2"
But any hole large enough to accept the 8mm bolt will do.

Until I got these, I used some "washers by the pound" from OSH (about $1.65). You will need a pair of lomger replacement bolts: M8 x 1.25 x 55 or 60mm. The original 40mm ones are too short to reach through the spacers.

Thats 8mm diamete, thread pitch of 1 1/4 t/mm, and a length of 55 or 60 milimeters. Hve fun & enjoy the new grilleguard.

I love it when the boys help each other out.


I need pics too, doesn't Frank6150 have one of those? Maybe he could stand next to it for scale and all. I heard he was pretty gifted when it comes to those sort of things.

Awesome, that will save me even more time in the hardware aisle. Thanks again tower!

My pleasure, Dan.

h2c-p, I guess you have frank ( j ) pegged.

Here's a side shot of the lower grille. Tin snips cut it like butter.

Dan,

Just did this last week, took multiple cuts on the depth as I couldn;t find much reference to it:

On my sample, here're the rough measurements:

I started the top horizontal cut approx 11/16" from the top, cut the horizontals 2.25" back to front, the vertical cut was 3".

Does it make sense?

Steve

That's perfect, thanks guys.
