1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Good find. I looked over his thread again last night. Should've checked his photos again today to compare. So it looks like the one alignment pin is missing. As for the damaged 14mm bolt hole, the front side of it is not damaged. I was able to track down the shifter plate with the vac line attachment. McGeorge actually does have it at 50 bones but ebay has it for 29. Not going to worry about it until I figure out this bolt hole issue. As for the flange, it appears fine - no damage.

Will send a message to the seller tonight. At least I know now it wasn't damaged during shipping. Thanks for the feedback

 

"Part Grade: A" ----- my ass

 

That hole in 90% sure is for a bolt.
To be honest missing one bolt isn’t the end of the world. But drilling it out and putting a bolt in the hole will be fine.

 

Thanks Dan but don't think I'm going to risk drilling it out so it will take that 14mm bolt. Looking at it, not sure how much (not much I think) padding there will be lol. My luck judging by the visible fracturing, it will probably break right off

 

14mm head is a 10mm thread. It’s not the end of the world. If they offer to take it back, let them. But if the offer like half off or the such, I wouldn’t hesitate to run it

 

Send a drill bit and a helicoil in, boom better than new

 

Worst case, weld it shut and drill a new hole.

You'll fill any cracks, if any.

 

Sorry, not as skilled as Tyler and you when it comes to welding.

 

You could be completely incapable of welding and be more skilled than Tyler

 

If it were mild or stainless, I'd happily offer it to you for free at my job.

 

Should see if there are any Lowe's Outlet appliance stores near you (different than a regular Lowes). They sell only appliances and have huge discounts on scratch 'n dent units. We have one here in Monrovia and got our second storage freezer for $100, normally retailed at $300. Just had a few scratches on it. Anything with cosmetic damage they'll sell in their outlet stores for much cheaper

 

The threads are in the transmission. All he needs is a hole

 

I'll find him a "Grade A" reefer on ebay...

 

After seeing Your version of Grade A....uhm....I'll pass

 

Perfect, drill the mofo, plenty of meat left, this is not a high stress fastening location or it would be a bigger bolt

 

Me?

I'd be down for that

But she'll want new, cause new house. Your ass better come over before you guys move.

 

Lol we aren't moving far from here for another year at least. We're going to check out Medford later this week while visiting my dad actually. But with everything going on we've got going on I would be prudent to stay at my current job/salary a little while longer.
