Re: Ever wonder what that fiberglass front end saved you weight wise?

The bolt/pin will most likely have a set up like a tow hitch where you pull the lock out then the pins and can lift the whole front end off after tilting it.

If you want, it will most likely be pretty easy to do, I could probably slap a second set together after I do mine.


2 minute drawing..

Thanks 73..... as you can see in the above picture.... a previous owner started to make a tilt-mount for the front end.... I'll take some close up pictures of what's been done so far for you to see if the ideas you have for mounting your tilt front end will work or can be adapted to mine.... thanks again....
