G'day lads Just wondering how you've gone about revmoving the standard a-series gearbox crossmember mounts that are spot welded into the tunnel with out damaging the tunnel? its got me confused.

Cheers Jake

I haven't done this on the tunnel mounts, but generally you would drill out the spots welds, the part falls off, then you plug or weld the holes.

Need room for a CA tranmission?

NO Don't drill them right out. There is a special spot weld removal drill bit ( Learnt from Laney). Go to Mitre 10 or a decent Hardware they will have them. Grab a wire wheel or coarse sand paper sand around the mounts so you expose the spot welds a bit better and then carefully drill with the bit it will leave little lumps and you can file or coarse sand them down smooth. The last thing i would want is more damn holes in the body and floor they are thin enough.

Yeah I should have done that, I use to drill through them and use an antique wood chisel to tear them off. That went down real well with dad...

jack hammer...

Thanks fellas ill see how I go....EEEEEEEPPP

Chris-your on a negative down spiral lad!

+1 for the insanely priced spot weld drill bit

ill definetly second the spot weld bit.
and ill second the rediculous price too.

jake - you are a retard, lad

I tried to use a spot weld drill, and found the angle meant I couldn't get them. So I ground, and cold chisled them off and made a hell of a mess.
