where does the grab bar bolt onto the x frame?

[leprogle]

What holes do the grab bar mount onto?
I've included a pic

1 and 3. Should be a straight shot across the bolt holes.

damn it, the stud's are broke off in "3". that's what i figured, tho

[FireHead]

That may explain the extra holes that are there.

[leprogle]

Extra holes? I've never seen an x frame before, and I don't know what's supposed to be there and what's not. Those bare metal marks along the top are from where I cut off the FUGLY frankenstein grab bar that was welded on, I don't see why he'd drill holes, when he was a BRILLIANT welder. My triple clamp bolts were welded, but not so that you couldn't get the bolts off, just so that you couldn't get a wrench on the damn bolt head!!!! I should've taken some pics, but i had to grind most of it off, to get the bolts out.

Hole Number 2 and the hole to the left of Number 3 are extras.

[leprogle]

oh, well, i guess i'm gonna have to try an easy-out, or drilling and re-threading the stock mounts, cause there's bolts broke off on both sides

[FireHead]

Can you weld something to the end of the bolt to get it out?

[Mobular]

Drill it, use heat and then an easy-out.

this si why you shouldnt put a welder in the hands of a desprate person

Desperate is one thing, but some people do absolutely retarded things with welders just because they can.

[leprogle]

I can't weld something to it to get it out, because it's broke off inside

[FireHead]

I don't always have good ideas.
