74 Snakeskin Gold Dustbag
I then re-attached the mount loosely AGAIN and lowered it into the saddle. I lined-up the hole with the mount with the big bolt and tightened the mount to the block. I CAREFULLY drilled through the mount until I made a little dimple in the back ear of the saddle. I probably could have drilled right through, but I didn't want to damage the inside of the tube that goes through the mount.
Once I got my dimple, I lifted the motor again (This is why I use a jack instead of a picker...up/down/up/down/up, etc.), and finished my rear ear hole. (Say THAT to your buddies!). Dropped 'er back down again and slid the bolt in from the back. The holes weren't quite perfect, so I had to open up the front one a smidgen. This is why I start out with a 1/2" hole instead of the 9/16 that Schumacher recommends. A short while later, the bolt slid right through and I put the nut on.
Unfortunately, because the front of the K-frame saddle is on an angle, the captive washer came apart from the nut, so......
I modified a brake drum retainer to make a tapered washer. It was a little crude, but effective. I used it and a regular flat washer, than a regular 1/2-13 nut.
