Before:
Annnnd After:
Can't decide if I need the gasket or not. Don't think its needed functionally, and this rig is rough enough I'm not sure its worth it aesthetically.
Some notes:
1) This is completely unmodified. I'm tempted to paint it to match the bumper, but not sure it matters.
2) I could not get the old nuts to fit on the middle thread sets on each side. Just couldn't get it to work. I grabbed a normal bolt and washer out of my bin of assorted stuff, and that worked great.
3) I need to figure out a way to attach a v8 logo to this. I've got my old one set aside, just not sure how to modify it yet.
