Re: Sandy's RCR40 Gulf Chassis #11

Here is a shot of the 3 pick up holes (SAE 5 Bolt Pattern) for the Return, Pickup and Centroid Sensor.

One thing to note is that the tank is not square so the outside hole will have the return which is shorter then the other two (or bent). One other thing is to be aware of the end of the fuel tank weld which is close. It all fits tight, but will make it.

As promised the RIGGED tool was a Milwaukee angle driver for hex type tools. I then ground up a bit to fit a holder that was in a Sears Craftsman kit. Got the back holes without as much wobble as I would have expected. The Right angle drill was just a bit too big to clear the back of the bulk head and the only other option was to remove it all, and that looked like a lot more work especially with the roll cage...

Last shot is a nifty tapping jig I got from Enco. It is a little guide that helps keep the tap perpendicular to the material. Looks to be real helpful.
