[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 320067, member: 11717"] okay so long time no post. been very busy, and sneaking out at night to fish doesnt help either. but i HAVE been making boat parts. :mrgreen: heres the bracket i formed to bump up the gator mount. its .125 6061. i used 5/16-18 SS button heads because i just prefer the look, plus maybe it will cut back on stubbed toes and broken toenails. the fuzz and scuzz is leftover from the PO's carpet, and that will come off with a flap wheel some time when its not so damn hot.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20130624_195304.jpg"]54319._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20130701_170644.jpg"]54611._xfImport[/ATTACH] to attach the bracket to the deck i used some SS rivnuts. under that front deck is a practically blind application and i hope the rivnuts have the grip required for the kind of load that bracket will generate. plus they are really easy to use- provided you have the right tools of course. for this size you just drill a .531 hole, tap the rivnut in, and use the tool to pull it in. zip zap.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20130624_195515.jpg"]54320._xfImport[/ATTACH] AND- this happened. its way more machine than i need but it was too good of a deal to pass up- 1968 model miller 330 gold star. for what i gave, i could not have even gotten half of a crappy taiwanese TIG.
