M O D Developer Team Nighthawk
since i'm now M O D Developer for Team Nighthawk i figured i could post a pic of some of my handy TIG work.
although this piece is for my 2" Tacoma suspension project i am working on, it shows how a problem was fixed.
what you see is the top side retainer of my coilover and this piece has 3 bolts that holds the top side of the shock in the upperside of the wheel-well. the problem was the hex heads fit snugly into a hex hole of a poly spacer that goes onto this piece. however, once the top side receives the nuts with some thread lock, getting the nuts off was almost impossible because the bolt heads would spin in the poly hole. so, to fix the problem i welded in some bolt head stops. voila... problem fixed. i love my TIG !
