RE: Detatchable sideplates help
ORIGINAL: Timmer
All this talk about squeezing sideplates, taking out the bolts to make 'em fit, hitting with a rubber malet.[sm=wtf.gif]Kinda defeats the purpose of being detachable, doesn't it?
Mark, this has been brought up alot here on the forum. Some guys received spacers for the rear mount and alot of us didn't. If this is the problem all you have to do is put 3-4 washers between the side fender struts and the docking bolt. If this doesn't work putting your sideplates on without any effort whatsoever, take them back to your squealer and tell them you want to replace the sideplates. Tim

ThanksTim.Just checked mine and guesse what? No spacer. Looks like there is maybe one washer and thats it. Do I have to unplug the turnsig wireing and pull it all apart to get the washers in there? also if you wouldnt mind posting a close up pic of the frontmount I would really appreciate it. It seems like the front docking point on mineis too close to strut cover.

RE: Detatchable sideplates help, Finally got em on.
Two washers, one on each of the front docking mounts pushedthe mountsout enough so that the sideplates seated fully. Fit like a glove now. Total cost, 16 cents. She is allready for two up duty now. After all my bitching and whining all I needed was a couple of washers[8D]...
