Brief Description: Painted bungee struts, drilled and tapped bottom b
The Viking Steel Bungee came with the steel side struts primed, so I used a rattle can of black engine paint to prep them for install.
Marked the hole locations on the bottom cushion and used the drill press to get to proper depth. A couple of wooden shims taped together made a good base for the thin side to get the surface level. Then used my newly purchased tap and die set from Harbor Freight to tap the threads. This was my first time using a tapping tool, but it all seemed to go well. The bolts went in snugly almost to the head, so I think I got it right.
