    The thimble is a pretty firm plastic. I believe on my first pull it’ll compress and self right. If not, yes, paperweight.

    Can you grind a notch out of the rope guard with a grinder or dremel tool? Or better yet if you know a guy that has a machine shop you could have it milled out nice and clean. :notsure:

    It try the same thing with visegrips and sideload a drill bit. If it's aluminum though. Just might work.

    Did have success running my wire to back of truck for the Viair. Wasn’t able to properly mount just yet as new bumper coming at the end of the month.

    7DBF4588-5114-4E77-894B-CAC95974C4BE.jpg 3D8B3007-F038-460C-AA54-D4BE92C94EFB.jpg E1B01861-E913-4798-93C1-EF7DD1D7C696.jpg

    Bought two sets of connectors so as to make a pigtail with the original alligator clips on Viar power cable. Using only three of the four sections of connectors leaves one. If anyone is going to do similar I have one you can have, then you’ll only need to buy one set.

    Good thought. Yes, I believe that’s possible.

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah. You don’t have to rub it in. I watched the vid, but only about hammering in the rivets. Guess I’ll be drilling out the rivets on Monday so I can reinstall. Nice we have a brand new drill press at work. Leave it too me to learn the hard way.

    Yeah, thanks for you support. Fucker. Clearly, I’m not capable of working unsupervised. Another end of the day screw up. Should have taken more time to plan the work, and work the plan.

    Don’t feel bad I did the same thing. Drilled out rivets, contacted factor 55 and they sent me some new rivets. I need to stop drinking when I’m in the garage.
