jhamz,


speaking of rodholders, if you have a top made, get all the rodholders welded the way you want them right then. Adding later on is not so easy once you run wires thru the tubing.


When I had the cracks fixed I also had 2 outward facing rodholders added.


The guy warned me to pull all my wires out. (They were a bear to get in because of the multiple 90deg bends) So I connected a piece of 14gauge house wire as a means to pull them back. Sure enough, it got welded to the inside of the tube. Luckily some yanking got it loose without breaking it off.
