Lift Cable Replacement Prep - Eyebolt Lengths

Status update, it’s a positive one. Despite *all four* bolts snapping on me, I was able to successfully drill out and retap 3 of the snapped bolts yesterday, so those positions (Both rears and front curbside) are all ready for their new cables. I decided to get my boroscope out to help see what was going on up there during the process.

I still need to figure out the front roadside as that hole looks pretty fouled up to say the least, as pictured!

I’d really like to avoid the bracket solution. I’m going to poke around today and verify if the nut is actually dislodged from the tip of the framework. If not, there may be enough metal left to drill and tap with a larger thread.

Progress is progress and I’ll take what I can get!

Good job getting the three drilled and replaced. Hopefully the last on will go well too. Keep us updated and appreciate the pictures!
