• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I feel your pain oregonsage. I walked in there the other day and ended up with a Strada to keep the Terra company. Hey, krussell. There were still a few sets of cases sitting there.

Bill came up with some mods to allow use of the factory rack. I'll post up some more pics when I get this mounted up.

Can you elaborate on the mod that they came up with? I'm trying to install mine now and I'm sure it's something simple but before I spend an hour or two figuring it out and making trips to the hardware store I figured I ask.
 
The mod involves using a bushing/spacer at the front mounts and sawing off the smaller diameter lower plastic of the rear mounts. You also need 2 additional bolts, but I don't recall which 2. The spacers were the longest bushings my local Ace Hardware had and fit the bolts just right. And, after sawing down the rear mounts, put the factory rack in the same angle as it was originally.

I got my 'stuff' at Ace also.

The spacers I used were listed as 5/16 x 5/8 x 1/2. The 1/2 being the height. The rear bolts are M8 x 60. The front are M8 x 45. Thread pitch is 1.25. There is an aluminum sleeve in the rack holes that needs to be shortened also.
 
Yeah, BMP sent those 1/2" spacers with mine. They are too short to keep the original angle. They probably work just fine, but I opted to be picky and got longer ones. I believe they are double the length, so about 1", I guess. They were measured in mm when I bought them.
 
My rack had two short and two long sleeves inserted into the rack from the top.
Pic shows one in place and one removed.

Indeed, the right approach. Did the same.

Thanks hasenfeffer and dangslow.

Cheers!
