Post 146 Pic shows the screws can be gotten to easy enough, what am I missing?


So just use a standard screw drive with a long shank
Phillips

I think what he is talking about is the upper screw has no depth for the screwdriver tip to go deep enough to get a bite?? Not sure.

If that’s the case I’d grind the tip down till it fits.

Under the obvious one.

Ok thanks
That screw wasn't installed after the head light bracket was put together, the head light needs to be removed to get to it.

Probably the red ones. It was a single bracket for both lights, attached to the panel by the 4 blue marked bolts. I would have to have it in my hands to be sure about the reds.

Anyway, I got it out, so it's not a problem until I put it back.

 

[flashback]

I didn't see that either.

I've been forgetting about this. Nothing special really. Just glassing and bodywork.

Gelles and started to sand today.

Got the camper sprayed today. A bit over 12hrs in today.





This corner looked better before I sprayed it.


Supervisor had to get up there and spray the tall guy stuff.

Guess who gets to touch up the camper now. First the boss whacked it with the drill, but only a little spot, then when I was closing the lower part it hit on the upper panel. Didn't think to check alignment as it was being closed, we just lined it up with the panels on the side of the windshield and left it. Uuuuggggghhhhhh...

How did it go getting that screw back in?

Turns out the lights are on a seperate square bracket that screws onto the larger bracket. Just had to take the light off and had plenty of room.

Also, a pic of the inside.

Got a $100 tip for that camper

Starcraft is pretty much done. Still needs detailed, striped, and rubrail siliconed, but it’s all back together now.

Been working on a 2010 Basscat for a few days. Lots of problems, a crack on the lower hull, cracks/delamination where the cap is glassed to the hull in the inside storage, cap is seperating from hull at the front when lifting, incorrectly installed Hamby keel guard, broken plastic windshield, and a small chunck of missing rubrail insert at the back.

So far, I'm fixing everything except the wondshield and insert. The guy wants to leave for Florida by the 1st, and the marina still needs to do something to it too. Gonna get a really nice bonus if the boss can take it to them by the 25th.





This has been bodyworked now.

Inside stuff is all done, I put the Hamby on Saturday, pretty much just waiting on gel now.
I also decided to work on the plastic windshield. I was worried the wind would break it off and throw it in his face. It is cracked, had missing screws, and most or all of the holes in the dash were stripped out. I super glued the crack and will reinstall with machine screws and nuts.
