Need Bolt size

Post by Donovan » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:33 pm

Everyone,

I am in the final stages of planning for my marrying of the tub, axles and frame and cannot seem to find the bolt size for the front gussets that hold the frame to the body. I would measure directly but the tub and frame are at the painters under lock and key and I cannot measure. I have looked in the parts books and cannot locate where the bolt is listed. Does anybody know what it is or where it is located in the GPA Parts Book?

Thanks,

Donovan.

Hello Michael,

I had the same problem, but also could not find the right sizes in the TM and or parts list. I made a choice using 4 long bolts with a diameter that fitted trough both gussets and the frame.
See the photo below, I hope that is what you mean:
