There she BLOWS!!!
......BTW, I ordered those bolts for the TB. They never gave me a shipping price: very odd....
Thanks anyway for that lead to McMaster-Carr, what and awesome company to know of.
I'm kinda quoteing myself here, and know that this is @mrobins26 build thread, but I am hoping to help any of you other guys that read my comments about the McMaster-Carr stud order and decide you want to make the same purchase: well, I wanted you to consider buying the studs a little longer than the 4" units that we bought. The reason is: The shafts of these studs are not as long as the factory studs, as these have more threading where I would have preferred more shaft length. This can be had by buying the studs about 1/2" longer, and then cut some of the length off from the threaded portion. This done, you will end up with close to factory spec stud length.
Hey, I'll post a pic of both studs so you can see what I mean.
Use the p/n that robins listed to get you to the McMaster-Carr catalog page where you can choose the length bolt that your heart desires
McMaster_Carr: Wow! They shipped my studs SO-FAST! I ordered Sunday night and Tuesday morning my UPS guy was giving me the box! Say-no-more.
I may be able to help you open that door, first off, don't force the inside door handle, it's plastic and will break, you may be able to pull up on the lock that sticks through the top of the door panel with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull on the outside door handel, you kind of have to feel it out.
If your electric lock plunger is not frozen you can jump the switch.
Maybe I was under thinking this at the time when my studs were not reusable, but I just went ahead and got some threaded rod from Lowes and cut to length, I was not aware of replacement studs and that was probably my fault being impatient. But it has been so far so good.
Like I said, if the lock actuator is seized, try the pull lock button/door handel thing. Let me know if it works.Okay...
I got tot he door lock switches today and tested the continuity of them. They check out.
I can get a pretty good grip on the lock sticking up through the top and pulled as hard as I dared.
Once I get my battery charged up and pass. window down, I will try a combination outer door handle and pliers on the lock.
I can jump it, but pretty sure the solenoid is frozen solid.
Any other ideas are much appreciated.
