Default of all things...

FINALLY! got some work this week - damned economy.

... ppl kept dickin me around on blocks so I finally said screw it and took mine down to get checked out. its at the mercy of my local machine shop. also got everything i need to get it back together correctly once i have the parts.... plus some extras for fun.


ok.... so heres my problem. MTX side trans mount - you have to stick the socket into the frame rail to get to the bolt. When i pulled the socket it out - it hung up and popped off my driver... you can guess what happened next...

so now I have a 19mm craftsman laser-etched socket inside my boxed neon frame rail[&:]

any ideas? lol...... of course it fell all the way to the bottom behind the front wheel housing.guess its better to pay $6 for the socket thn to cut into my frame...

it cant ever just go perfectly right can it?

It took me about 3 hours to get my socket out... i used a magnet with a bendable shaft and it kept sticking to the frame it sucked *****... had to keep taking it out to get it off the side of the frame rail...

I thought I was the only one who dropped his socket in the frame rail...
