Satoshi Grill Problems

Well, I'm about as frustrated as you could get right now. I just received my HomerTaco Satoshi Grill, bought from another member on here. I love the grill! Unfortunately it was damaged in shipping by USPS. The seller packaged it completely fine, so it's in no way their fault, just the post office to blame. Look at the holes in the box! Two tabs are broke and I'm not sure if it can even be mounted now. Anybody have any ideas on possibly repairing these tabs or is it even worth trying to install? Help please!

 

Drill small holes on each side of the break (4 holes per tab), then safety wire through the holes. Cover with as much epoxy (JB weld) as possible without interfering with the fit. Epoxy or wire alone probably won't hold but I've had good results fixing small parts like that when you combine them .. belt and suspenders

Might want to file a damage/insurance claim with USPS though.

 

hey OP what kind of motorsport is in your profile pic?

 

Thanks for the info. I'll probably try that!
And I'll definitely be talking to USPS

 

It's the Pikes Peak Hill Climb Tacoma they raced years back.

 

I think he's referring to your Pikes peak Hill climb Tacoma in your profile picture. Good luck with your grill. Hate seeing stuff like this due to carrier's not giving a damn.

 

Haha, sorry I misread the post.
Yes that would be it!

 

You ahudda seen the box my y-pipe was in... Holes where the mounts hung outside the box...

 

I hate that man, I get so frustrated with packages sent sometimes. I swear I think if it has 'Fragile' written on it, they're abuse them more!

 

Try the pvc or abs glue from Home Depot. The stuff they use on sprinkler or plastic pipes; I've had good success with that stuff.

 

next time wait for UPS man, then treat him like a fragile package???

 

I appreciate it. Yeah I was so pumped to get it in today, I take it out and then see this! Aaaggghhh!

 

Dont be a tard.

The delivery person is the gentlest person who touches your mail. It's the people who send it from point A to point B that don't give a fuck.

 

hey OP what part of GA are you from? there is a meet at some place in roswell sunday night

 

Can't argue with that. I like my mail lady and I know she'd never do that.

 

I'm in North Ga, so that might be somewhat of a long haul for me, but thanks for the heads up!

 

im in Snellville, so it sucks just to get to the highway...

 

Haha, I know what you mean.

 

need a brush guard???

 

No thanks, actually just sold a Tonneau cover and some some running boards off mine.
