essess Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hmmm, I can't tell much from that picture about the angle of the bend or size. How do you get the placment to drill the holes and make the bend? Sorry for being "dense" about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get the placment to drill the holes and make the bend? Sorry for being "dense" about this! I think it's a rounded 90 degree bend, not sure. There's a post with pics of the template for the side pieces. It has sizes and I plan to try and use it tomorrow to cut out a bracket. I'll try to post it up tomorrow when I get one made.

Thanks, is the picture of the template at correct scale when you click on 100% while viewing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT13 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I know this is like beating a dead horse, but if someone is going to fab up a set of brackets, I will gladly pay you if you fab up an extra set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essess Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Me too,and an template to correct scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySilveradoSS Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 if you click on the template, put a piece of paper over the screen, and trace the outline of the side pattern, it works. Both myself and imposster have done this to mount our wings. it's as close to 100% scale as your gonna get. as far as the brackets, they should be easy enough to fab up, just take a piece of sheet metal, bend a 90*, and then mark for trimming, drill three holes in the bracket, two in the bed, and then it's done.

Thanks, I'm assuming the bend is made where the template wraps around the inside of the bed toward the tailgate and the rest of the bracket remains straight, or does it have to curve with the end piece's shape like the template wraps around? I'm getting paranoid about this --- I sure don't want any COSTLY mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySilveradoSS Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 yes that's correct. it's a little unnerving drilling holes in your truck, but it's worth it. good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01pewterz28 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 yes that's correct. it's a little unnerving drilling holes in your truck, but it's worth it. good luck. Mine arrived yesterday the spoiler in great shape overall they could have been packed better for the extra $9.99 they charged but we did get one heck of a deal "Thanks Eddie" I am going to fab up my own brackets this weekend and see what come up with then send them to my powder coater. The spoiler will be heading to the painters in the next few weeks I will be getting my SS bumper cover re-painted at the same time. Once I make up the brackets I will see what I can do about offering them for the whole group powder coated for a small price.

Big Tim Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 got it, thanks again. and I agree, cheesy wrapping for the "Extra care" taken for the extra money... but as long as the last one comes unharmed, it's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
