They are easy to instal, take your time for one then just get a really good drill bit I ordered a carbide one after that you need a sharpe some tape and a couple shipping blankets. I can upload pictures if you want.

I should be installing another set next week if they come in on a Go Mango Shaker car that I just finished doing custom Shakedown stripes on.

Awesome job!!

Thanks, Two things I forgot to add, first paint the edges of all the bare metal, second I could not find this part anywhere on the net for drilling the plastic closeout panel for marking the exact center this will be the last thing you do. I am very anal so I thought about this for a bit.

After installing everything else except those,

1. Take off the actual pins, just unthread them.
2. Install the plastic panels and put masking tape over the area of the panel that looks like where the pin would come through at.
3. Close the hood.
4. Mark the end of the pin with the sharpe and poke it through the hood to mark the tape.
5. Drill the plastic where it is now marked, run the drill in reverse and the hole will come out perfect.

Good deal, thank you for the tips. Definitely a project that requires patience when there is drilling metal involved.
