Fitting a bolt in cage

15th January 2012, 16:24

Right, bit of a noob on this subject. Drilled and bolted all the other sections fine apart from the rear drivers side. There's a lot of black piping and a box on the inside of the the rear arch. How do you get around this?

Cheers

its the filler neck, remove it if you wish. .

all depends on where it goes, my old cage missed the filler neck piping so was fine.
try a pilot hole first if you dont want to remove it, just be careful when applying pressure

Right ok. So basically just remove it, then re-fit once the bolts are in? I've checked and they're going to come through right on it which is fucking annoying..

yea...
you not got a full tank have you?
should be fine at around 3/4.

if not jack rear end up so it leans petrol foward,
Its not much effort to take it off. just the fact it will have loads of roadcrap around it)
Carnt remeber, Is there two screws under the petrol cap? Remove them. and theres 2 big clips in wheel arch(remove)/push down out of way. and one smaller one.

also, when remove, might aswell get some sort of rust protection around the actuall bodywork of the fuel filler(arch side) as it may be a rusty place in years to come..
