[QUOTE="Makoto, post: 1498639, member: 21863"] the washers on each side have tabs that fill in the void to prevent the bolt from walking back. similar to the one below but this is before i added more material and made the shoulders more pronounced. it wedges in the hole pretty good, essentially filling it completely. [ATTACH type="full" alt="MRfKW-wnID5m87vByCvKzAj9sR=w612-h815-no?authuser=0.jpg"]15865[/ATTACH] I also put a tab of aluminum to fill in the void on the rear bracket to make sure the whole right side can't move. This is basically what I did with the front bolt, the tab is just welded to each washer on either side of the mount. [ATTACH type="full" alt="_eDFltefKedOs-pgdQQkHGxc1=w1087-h815-no?authuser=0.jpg"]15866[/ATTACH] final result? not perfection but really darn close. this gap was half an inch on the passenger side, now its virtually imperceptible without tools. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ww7Z2uuKxtbRATjpxTSRHGYlcc=w612-h815-no?authuser=0.jpg"]15867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="WvuIN0D9bqauuQgeZVeeeRtMQO=w612-h815-no?authuser=0.jpg"]15868[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
