Brief Description: Locate and drill pilot holes for LH side gear bolt
Locate and drill pilot holes for LH side gear bolt-tube and bushings. I'm drilling from the firewall forward (which is different than the directions) because it was much easier to find the center of aft portion of the saddle.
Used a 12" #30 pilot hole to find best location and angle. Increased drill diameter before final .25 diameter. .25 dia was used with .75" hole saw (steel tube through saddle) and 1.25" hole saw for bushings.
Location was about 1/2” above the existing center (firewall side). A 6 degree tilt was necessary to hit the target location on the front side of the saddle.
#30 pilot drill through firewall and saddle.
