Thread: prothane passanger mount install help!

so the mount is so big i cant get the two side bolts to go directly in, i mean straight up and down. How is everyone else putting these mounts in. I did this before but it was years ago and forgot how i did it.

Trim some material off.

Shop press, a few boards, and some sockets......

^^^it sounds like he got the mount pressed in and cant get the bolts down to the bolt hole, trimming is definatly needed

i guess i'm going to trim it, just weird because i did it before without cutting it.

Trim it i installed that way

Trim two upside down L's about an inch long on each side. This will give enough room to play with.

ended up just cutting it but i think i didn't have to do it. The bolt holes in mount bracket i think where stripped so i just drilled them out and placed new bolts in with a lock nut on the back. Its holding strong. thanks for everyone's help. then can be closed if wanted.
