Inner fairing brackets
« on: March 28, 2009, 11:44:02 PM »
Since this covers all dressers with bat wing fairing I put it here.

I assume the bracket pictured below is another common break. I'm sure I've read about here in the past.

Mine is broken on the left side.

The crack is not all the way through.

I "end drilled" the crack and pop riveted a piece of steel to it.

I was at the dealer today, there are revised inner brackets available (called "weldment" in the book).

Right side 58479-96B
Left side   58478-96B

I have replaced my speaker brackets 3 times now. To put the brackets on with Hawg Wired speakers requires removing some of the bracket. Note, I broke 2 of the brackets before modifying the the piece like in this picture.

If you look close you can see that this bracket is starting to crack.
