Title: How not to spend a Saturday
Post by: preddy08 on November 15, 2008, 08:52:34 PM
I got a wild hair this morning and decided to take the old rappy down for gusseting and powder coating. Let me tell you, ITS NOT FUN!!!!

Same here. Not the left or right side. since they both usually take the same bolts. But.. I had about 30ish baggies of bolts and misc stuff. Made it 100% easier putting back together. :thumbs:

LOL, when ever I tired to describe the color to someone I always told them to think of a bass boat.

As of now I'm just waiting on the tamper proof torx bit to come in so I can take apart the frame, have it welded, then its off the the PCer :clap:

That's some big flake in the paint.  I bet it will look cool and way different than 99% of the quads out there.   :batman:

I had to weld a bolt to the head of the tamper proof bolts om mine to get them out. They are tough. I am painting a YFZ that color tomorrow. Looks good.

Just about any decent autoparts store can order it in. I went through APW autoparts. I know that sears can get you one too. Its a T-50.

I hope mine are'nt to tight. I know that torx bits really like to strip out. I'm going home at lunch and hitting it with some PB Blaster :help:

+1 all of my printers are held together with almost 100% torx t-20's :thumbs:  Rarely strip. In fact, I stole some from here, that is what I replaced my float bowl screws with. Those philips head screws sucked!
