Yesterday I put on a coach-wide flap on our SOB that had been 'poorly' removed. It had originally been put on with the use of 3/16" self tapping screws up through the frame.

After a lot of thought, I decided to put the thing on the right way.

Off to the store, got some #8, 1/4 x 20 bolts and a tap. Redrilled the holes with a number 7 drill (13/64 for those who are interested). Helen and I got under the coach, clamped the flap assembly up, put on some red Locktite and put the Heavy Duty Milwaukee to 'er.

Turned out to be a pretty nifty operation overall.

So even the mechanically disinclined can do stuff.

Even though I haven't driven the coach since I put it on, the installation was better than the original.
