Shifter Gate Holes Drilled and Tapped
Bent Bracket Comparison
Well I thought I was ready for paint! Upon closer inspection I found that the shifter pivot bracket on my tank was bent in! Well I grabbed another tank and the shifter gate screws were not budging. So I drilled them out and ran a tap through, Problem solved, off to the painter...NO. I figured that I would bolt the tank onto the frame just to be sure. The friggin' front tank mount hole is like 1/8th inch off! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
