Re: Hunner's Skids Install made simple
Nope, it's not all flat, frame is overlapped there...hold them in place with a magnet & weld tight to where it is touching, then build up around it some. Also weld down outer frame edge. I didn't bother welding on fuel tank skid side, they are held on nice & tight with just those two edges. Plate will extend a little further outside frame (not quite centered), just line up straight & go. That frame is some hard steel, turn up the voltage!
Great call on the ratchet strap idea, it holds the shock compressed so everything stays together, thanks!
