Pls add me to the list.

One per side, yes. There are enough pins for about 18-19 pairs, so I think you are fine.

Who is next on the list? Not even sure who has the list?

 

hey JPS - send it my way - PM sent

 

I am on the list.

Thx

 

The list is on Post #18 of this thread. I think Skidan is next up after JPS.

Greg H.

 

..... from post 18 above, the current list is: .... -> moots --> JPS --> SkiDan --> firesm --> e9stibi --> Greg H --> ande5000

It now goes to SkiDan, so please PM him re address, etc.

 

OK cool - so here is the current list from Post 18, I checked and I think I was next so here it is updated!

JPS --> SkiDan --> firesm --> e9stibi --> Greg H --> ande5000 --> deekay911

 

Ok. Off to SkiDan. Hopefully tomorrow.

 

JPS,

You have a PM with my mailing address. My thanks to you and to Garth.

 

Now
JPS --> SkiDan --> firesm --> e9stibi --> Greg H --> ande5000 --> deekay911 --> Nile13 --> RSA964

Please advise if we missed anyone. Hard to see from above who had what jig and who finished.

So for those following, I included both jigs and of course the pins, instructions, photo, and I threw in the new drill bit I bought.

I found the original pilot hole jig (5/32") to have a lot of slop in it after so much use and was afraid of not going straight through. That was me though, maybe I was just paranoid.

I used the newer jig (5/16") as far as I could, then used a 5/32" drill in the center when I couldn't get any further with the cordless drill I had. Punched through with the 5/32, then back with the 5/16 to finish up. Tap in and done.

Drives great, thanks to all those who figured it out.

Did everyone secure with wire or something, or are you confident it will just stay put?

Thanks,

 

I have had mine in for almost a year now and it hasn't moved at all, but some safety wire wouldn't hurt at all. One of those things I keep thinking I should do and never get around to...
Worst case scenario is the pin falls out and you are back to stock tie rods. I don't think anyone here has ever experienced a catastrophic tie rod failure (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong on that).

 

SkiDan...you get ok?

 

JPS,

Unfortunately no, the package has not arrived. We are experiencing a national strike/lockout of the Canadian postal service. The government is tabling back-to-work legislation before the summer recess begins at the end of this week, so hopefully the mail will be flowing soon.

I will send you a PM when it arrives.

 

I used 2 zipties per side. that pin ain't going anywhere.
