It had the interesting situation where the screw holes holding</DIV> <DIV>the lid down were dead center into the glue joint between the back board</DIV> <DIV>and the pin block where it came apart. They obviously tried to pull the</DIV> <DIV>two together by tightening the big bolts instead of putting some serious</DIV> <DIV>clamps on there. The result is a 1/8-3/16 inch gap between the boards that</DIV> <DIV>I'll bet I can't close with clamps now. What'cha think? My first impulse</DIV> <DIV>is to take a wrecking tool and pry that sucker apart and start over. Am I</DIV> <DIV>borrowing trouble? It is also separated from the case sides so that</DIV> <DIV>shouldn't be a problem. I'm on another job right now so it is not</DIV> <DIV>something I have to decide right now. Whatever I do, I am going to put big</DIV> <DIV>plugs in those lid hold down screw holes to prevent the problem happening</DIV> <DIV>again on my turf!</DIV> <DIV>Warren</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Warren Fisher- Navy Retired - Slidell, Louisiana </DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Warren Fisher- Navy Retired - Slidell, Louisiana </DIV> <DIV>98 2500 Dodge Cummins TD, DTT Auto, Smart Controller, E-Brake, ATF, EGT, and Boost gauges, Mag Hytec tranny and differential pans, Aux. tranny cooler, 4" exhaust, monster air filter, engine 125 hp upgrade.</DIV> <DIV>02 Titanium fiver 28E33, aerodynamic front end, 2-120W solr panls, Friendship 2000 invrtr, </DIV> <DIV>four Lifeline absorbed glass mat battries, Honda 5000 genset</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P></P></BODY></HTML>
