They do hang down further than what I'd like them to. When I get the ride height set, I'll see how close it is to the ground and go from there. This is how I had to do it to get the motor to clear the frame connector. The only way around this is to cut the cutout tubes back off, cut the flanges on both sides, rotate the flanges so that the motor points down more of an angle and rotate the cutout tubes up out of the way more. This is the first time I've ever built a car. I don't have any help locally so I'm on my own to try and learn every single thing I do on this build on my own. I've had great help from so many here along the way. Is everything I do perfect the first time every time? Hell no. I've tripped and fell on my face so many times along the way that I'm not even sure my face is recognizable anymore! I'm only striving to gain the knowledge of so many here so I can at least act like I know what I'm doing and try to build the car that I've wanted for 15 years. So yeah I may not do things the right way the first time every time. Did anyone here accomplish that on their first ride? Doubtful. Believe me, Captain Hindsight is with me 24/7 so I always know what I'm supposed to do next time. :cheers:
Yes you both need to explain this more clearly. 180 degrees turned what direction? The way you're explaining it sounds to me just the same as flipping the whole thing over and running it backward from the way it was intended (which is now the I put it on last night). I'm not ignoring what you're saying. It's just not clear to me. I'm always open for suggestions and am not a closed minded person. Maybe it's this Kansas air keeping my brain fogged over and I need to move back home to Oklahoma! HA!
And here we go again. Keep trying to stir **** up. Had you mentioned flipping the flange and all that the first go round trying to help out rather than saying "I don't like cutouts", wouldn't that have been a whole lot more helpful? I always appreciate the help, but the smarta$$ comments aren't appreciated. Maybe I should just expect that because that's just they way some people are. If you think that I insulted you, I'm sorry that you have thin skin. My apologies if I insulted you.
Again, hindsight. I checked one side and not the other. Yes my fault. Trip, fall, brush it off, learn. In the past they've had great customer service. I actually sent back 2 or 3 of these cutouts and they had no problem with that. This time was a bit of a bummer though in that department. Just sayin.
