Size of the tie rod hole!!

Post by Rogue Trooper »

Hello all, what's should the size of the hole be? I take it there are no easy repair panels for this.
My hole is wider than a trumps ego !!

From memory, I think the hole is 32mm. Someone did document the repair they did to that area a short while back.

Simon ( toomanytoys) at T3volution did a big write up with plenty pictures on the repair of this
It's not a simple repair , as it is three layers of plate the holes go through ....
