Aug 08, 2023 3.5 30-2: thru 30-4: Step installation Category: 30: Step
Snuck into the garage for a little while tonight and drilled the baggage rib for the step blocks. Easy peasy.

8/11: drilled the right step this morning. Drilled the #30 guide hole through the step bracket and step no problem. Then upsized to the #12. When I pulled the assembly apart, I had two holes in the bottom of the step - a #30 and a #12. With minimal material between them. Must have had the #12 tilted a bit. As I tried to assess whether that would be acceptable, I remembered that at one point I was going to clock the bolts 45 degrees. That made me realize I could just clock the bolt get enough distance from the original hole(s) and redrill.

So after work, I confirmed that I'd still be able to access the bolt if clocked 45 degrees and redrilled it. No issues this time. Installed the TCW bushing, touched up the primer, installed the bolt and torqued it. Hopefully I never have to get back into these bolts but if I do, I'll see that one is vertical and the other is clocked 45 deg.

This section is done.
