 You don't want any bolt head on the inside of the frame rail?

Inside the frame rails would be fine.
Are you suggesting that I weld in a solid plug of aluminum, then drill it and tap it?

Then again welding might not be a bad option except for trying to get the engine out... :|

No, I've had a lot going on and what little time I do have has been put toward my Street Tard project.
I'm to the point where I need to start trying different radiators and carb to air box boots.
I have seen the different ones used by our members but since I have a few hundred different boots and radiator set's in my junk piles I figured I would see what else might work  :lol:

Definitely keep us posted on what works, could work with mods, and just flat out won't, please!
