Ah, OK. Haven't heard much about that motor. Probably a good thing, lol.

Started cutting out the bracket tonight. Had to remind myself that I'd better not get "too" far into it without pulling the inner fender out.



I'll weld along that black line....



And I made a couple gussets for support.

Lol.

The 1 ton requires 16 spark plugs.

Answer quickly, and with a number only.

Spark plugs are sold in packs of four. How many do you need?

Easy right?

You can think a little here if you want....how many do you think I ended up with in my mailbox?



Yep, that one is do ever.

Rock Auto btw.

Then it's not so crazy, that was my answer. Quantity 4. Ended up with 1 box of 4. Only option was a number. I know I didn't want to say 16, but would have if clearer. However, if I paid more attention to finally price, I would of caught it. I didn't, had quite a grocery list at the time....gitt'er done mode.

Haven't got a response back from them yet. Guess I'll try 12 this time....hopefully the opposite doesn't happen.

LOL. No, but that was in the back of mind for sure...may have been in the subconciose but yea, it was definitely there. Couldn't do it...hit the #4 and moved on.

Right before you hit quantity, there's a caption stating they are only sold in boxes of 4. Hitting 4 came even easier with that.

Easy mistake I guess....who's ever it was lol.

Got this bracket started on. I need to get after it with the spatter.... the welds (as per my usual) aren't going to win any awards, but it'll work great.
