Hi all, First post in this forum, so please, be gentle. HLS30-02675 is now mounted on the home made rotisserie (came out sweet btw). Found some rot between the fender apron and firewall. Does anybody know the proper guage sheet metal to use on the fender apron and/or firewall patch? Have seen old opinions ranging from 18-22. Want to match up as close to original as possible. Advice appreciated. Cheerz! Bill

Nice thread. I don't know what's worse...the lack of ethics or spelling! Y'all have to live with your actions.

As Enigma said, a simple pipe wrench...18 incher worked like a charm!

Great advice. Thanks to all for responding. I think I can handle that.

Hi all, First time posting on this forum. I'm the 4th owner of HLS30-02675. Currently, I'm stuck on the struts. There's this gland packing on the top of the strut assembly. The manuals call for special tool ST35500000. From what I can see, this tool is basically a large hex head wrench but my gland packing is round with two notches lined up on a diameter. Any tricks on getting this sucker off? Another special tool perhaps? Thanks Bill Kingston, WA
