[TR] [6pack] diff mounting studs

[marty sukey]

Yes, I did this exact thing. I made up a set of bushings to that go over the
post to use a guides for the drill and tap to ensure that everything goes on
center. Your welcome to borrow them for the price of mailing them if you
return them. I will have to find them though:).  On the welding question, I
just looked at two frames and see no evidence of weld were the mounting stud
projects through the bracket on the underside of the frame. It almost appears
the only attachment of the stud it self is where it projects through the large
frame member going cross car under the parcel shelf where it is welded in
place. It sure seams as though it would be welded to the brackets underneath
though. Whats the popular opinion on this?

Thanks,
Marty
