I see I see. That sucks man. I had a similar experience when I put my trick log on. The flange holes were misaligned and wouldn't bolt up to the head. Little bit of a set back but I redrilled it and got it to line up.

Is Huron going to send you a new one or do they have to make and whole new log?

Well, sometimes you just can't stop a man that's been working on a truck all day and REALLY REALLY wants to see a turbo manifold bolted up.

Sooooo....got a grinder and got to work. Ended up having to take out more than I thought I would have to but once you start, there's not really any going back.

A man and his grinder. It's a beautiful thing

Plenty of clearance around the plug wires

We reached a fair agreement on some compensation for what I had to do. Waiting for the WG to get here to make sure it fits as intended, but doesn't look like it should be a problem (but this is coming from a guy who has never actually seen a WG before )

Here's what ended up having to be cut. The mount still has tons of meat left so I'm not concerned. And it's covered so you can't tell it at all, especially once it's painted. And I'd honestly rather have this problem than the plug wires laying on the log or something.

even with that grinding when the motor moves it looks like it still may hit

Weld up the stock motor mounts, problem solved. But yeah, that's definitely going to bang on the frame under power.

What you cant see is that everything slopes downward behind where I grinded and it shouldn't hit. But if it does, it'll clearance itself right?
