Yeah, I'm not messing with that thing.

But I've decided to call it quits for the night and start again tomorrow when there's more daylight. I'll go to Ace and get the dremel set cause with my file it's just taking too long to trim this piece down.

When I get to Georgia/SC we'll have to compare our parts to see if I was even cutting what I needed to vs cutting everything

I'm just worried about them getting down in the tranny, or in the shifter area and messing up something. I don't have a Compressor lol and my hand vac won't have enough focused power to get it all out... oh well lol
