i ran into a problem with the screws for the skid. on stripped. i need to find a replacement for it.. quick tip: before mounting the skid, use a 3mm tap and tap the srew holes about halfway into the skid. that will make the screws go in alot easier. |

Your skid holes are not drilled correctly from the factory. They should be through holes and no need to be tapped. J |

 i tapped to make it easier to start the 3mm screw. i also had binding issues with the skid and non flanged ball ends. i used some flanged ends and one nut in between instead of the two. i'll get pics in a bit. | |

What I mean is the holes are supposed to be "through" holes. The screws should pass through the holes not thread into them. Nice job on the skid. Build is looking good J Quote:
