Subject: | Re: Instrument panel |
Wayne,
I put in the map box and ended up removing it. That sucker takes up a lot of
panel space. Cutting holes in the sub panels is not that hard. Make some
lines and fire up your die grinder with a cut off wheel and go for it.After
you get the holes cut use some angle stock as a brace to reinforce where
ever you cut.

Subject: | Instrument panel |
It looks like the Sears site is down.
I think the part number might be: 00947477000
However, to help out I took a picture of my tool set and posted on my
web site: http://www.repucci.com/bill/images/Craftsman%20Key.jpg
Oh, sorry, wrong tool. ;)
This is the correct one:
http://www.repucci.com/bill/things/sears%20tools%202.jpg
The bits are replaceable and the wrenches are reversible.
Hope that helps.
Bill

Thanks Mike.
FYI - The reason I suggest using cap screws is so that they can be
easily removed in places you can't see to get a screw driver on a
Philips head screw.
I HIGHLY recommend this set from Sears:
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purp
ose&pid=00947477000&vertical=TOOL&subcat=Wrenches&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
Although the set does not come with a hex bit, it does accept standard
size bits, so you might already have one in your shop.
I have also elected to use stainless steel 8-32 cap screws for my fuel
tank covers. By using this tool, the screws are very easy to insert and
remove.
Just another tip I thought I would pass along.
Bill
