#48886, "Did you have to drill out your missing link bolt holes????"




          

Corbin had to remove a little material to get the holes to line up right. I thought it lined up fine till I went to tighten it all down. Now I think the screw or the hole may be stripped cause it doesn't torque down. Did all of you have to modify the ML?



I edited to the wiki!

Yea, you pretty much have to enlargen the holes on the ML, and the threads on the longer screws are not the same as the ones in the manifold. But they are close enought to work if you dont wanna tap it.

I also enlarged the holes on the Missing link to make them align with the holes in the manifold better. Once that was done, the Missing link mounted perfectly. If you don't do this, you may mess up the threads on the screws or the threads in the manifold.

Most of the Missing Link's holes are about 1 mm too close. Here's what you do to install it with no leaks. Install the washers and bolts into the Missing Link FIRST. Then squeeze the threaded end of the bolts together and insert them into the manifold. Tighten the bolts and the Missing Link will push itself right down onto the manifold and seal nicely. I hope I didn't confuse anyone.
