    Anyway, rather than tack weld anything, I epoxied the proper size nuts to washers that I'm going to pop rivet in place on the bacl side of the female part of the stock location.
    Is this making any sense ???

    Just throwin it out there as an E-Z alternative to welding. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

    Excuse me, that Sienfeld reference didn't go unnoticed, did it ?

    I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
    Yeah, basically the same idea, except I figured a weld would hold better in the long run, whereas epoxy may eventually break. By this summer I should have a nice garage and a welding setup so I might just do this. The only drawback is the cap screws will come free when you remove the trim piece. But, I would rather have something heavy duty.

    PS - Having a welding setup will probably result in a lot of things...

    Eric, do you still need one? I do have one red on left, but I painted it black. You could probably strip the black paint off with some thinner or acetone. If you want it, let me know.

    Hi Bart!

    Thanks, but I already ordered some extras from Merlin. Hopefully I'll get the red ones, since there seems to be some confusion regarding the actual part numbers...
