Default Re: TB removal and then some!!!

Doing double duty as I'm starting to do some things on the 94 while still working on the C3's....so my Corvette pal Dom did some setup today with his drill press and even removed the ball joint from one of the uppers.... going there tomorrow and splitting our time between C3 & C4 work.... getting things done....pics and descriptions below....[emoji16][emoji16]
Pic #1...Been watching quite a few YouTube videos for the C4....one individual decided to upgrade the attaching hardware for the ball joint from the 1/4" bolts....nuts and lockwashers on the left....to the Grade 8 5/16" bolts... nyloc nuts and flat washers..on the right.....he felt that these would be stronger and I agree.....
Pic #2...Dom setup the drill press and went to work...
Pic #3...a time saver for sure....
Pic #4...Dom mentioned that the ball joint practically popped out.... compared to what we went through on the first upper...
Pic #5...all setup for tomorrow to elongate the openings to accommodate the 5/16" hardware....20240207_190032.jpg20240207_132157.jpg20240207_131023.jpg20240207_134959.jpg20240207_141836.jpg
