Default Just the Tip
Anything that required, PB Blaster, a drill AND a mallet probably didn't go the way you thought it would.




But the results were nice.

Yup, those quad tips so dang hot looking. Been on look out for practically the last year hoping to snag a used set but sure are hard to come by.
You either paid some big $$$ on new or got lucky and found a nice used set.
Congrats either way, looking great!

We're the oval tips welded? Mine are and apparently this was a common fix for rattles.

No welding. Just rust.

I actually bought these:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CHROME-QUAD-M...0AAOSwSdZWg1bc

The quality is quite high, but I guess we will see if they start to rust. If the finish goes quickly I will take them back off and have them powder-coated black.
