Re: Skid plate mount nut broke free
That can crush your frame easily.
If you are going to do that, I recommend a larger hole on one side so
you can fit a tube along the bolt. Then on the end the tube goes in,
you use a large washer and nut. This tube will come up tight at the
same point the bolt gets tight if it is the right length so the frame
can't get crushed.
If you look at how they mount a winch plate to the frame, it is the same
idea. My Warn winch plate came with some bolts long enough to go right
through the frame and tubes to limit how tight I can do it up without
damaging the frame.

Re: Skid plate mount nut broke free
If you're going to drill anyway, and want something that doesn't look
jury-rigged, how about this. Find yourself a nice thick washer and weld the
appropriate nut to it. Drill out the old bolt hole just large enough to
fit the nut through. Insert nut and weld the washer to the frame. No funky
bolt through methods with their frame crushing potentials and you would
barely notice the repair.

jury-rigged, how about this. Find yourself a nice thick washer and weld the
appropriate nut to it. Drill out the old bolt hole just large enough to
fit the nut through. Insert nut and weld the washer to the frame. No funky
bolt through methods with their frame crushing potentials and you would
barely notice the repair.

Re: Skid plate mount nut broke free
If you're going to drill anyway, and want something that doesn't look
jury-rigged, how about this. Find yourself a nice thick washer and weld the
appropriate nut to it. Drill out the old bolt hole just large enough to
fit the nut through. Insert nut and weld the washer to the frame. No funky
bolt through methods with their frame crushing potentials and you would
barely notice the repair.

Nut with arms. No, seriously. You cut a small slot and insert a nut that
has been welded to a bar. The bar turns and is held by the sides of the
framerail. The arms then ------ the load so it doesn't pull through

A nut with arms, huh? I'm sure I've met him on the usenet.
BTW, nice diagram!

say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also
unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know."

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting
to me, because as we know, there are known knowns, there are things

unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know."
