DesNoble Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Good morning all. I couldn't see any items on this topic so here goes. While fitting the rear overriders with the bolt/tube the holes don't quite align up. I've been able to use an 8mm ripper to open up part of the inner/middle hole but because of the chassis there's not enough room to complete the hole. My ripper tool isn't quite long enough to reach from the outside and of course I don't want to damage the paintwork. Anyone with any ideas or tools. I've been unable to find any suitable tools. Regards. Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Can you move the rear body up (or down) to align the holes Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesNoble Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi Bob That has been suggested but I didn't think there would be enough movement without undoing all the fixings along the body attachment and am reluctant to do that unless it's absolutely necessary. Rereading your response it's a sideways movement that is required. Have you tried this or do you think there is usually enough give in the body to do this. Des. PS The more I think about this the more I realise that I might have to try that. One of those jobs which should have been checked prior to painting the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 There is a little amount of clearance on the body mounting holes anyway so just slack all the bolts should allow a bit of sideways movement anyway. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DesNoble Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 That's a fairly unanimous response so I'm off into the cold to attempt that. Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
