Alright weapons of choice.

I dont want to use this because the disc is too thick and it will damage the mount due to the design of the disc. So I started using a hacksaw and got really far... problem is thats a lot of ******* elbow grease to accomplish my goal.



I dont even know what kind of blade this is but it looks like It was made for cutting tree's when I started with it and now its finally down to these nubs you see now. I was wondering if I should get another hacksaw blade with big teeth on it like so or if I should find a different type of hacksaw blade. Any recommendations would be great guys, this seems to be working so far, just a lot of work.


This thing has two solid rivits going through it and it has some kind of metal in between it holding it to this rail. I need to saw all of these off so I can mount them in my car, reposition them and then weld them into place so my new found seats will drop in my car.

As you can see I got a decent amount of work done... but this is 6 hours worth of on and off sawing, I come back to it after my right arm doesnt feel like its going to explode.





Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I swore I posted this **** this morning, guess my wife distracted me when I hit the reset button on my computer. ARG!!!

 

I use a variable speed jigsaw with a fine tooth metal blade or a dremel with a reinforced metal blade for small area cutting.

 

ill look into it.

 

we can grind all night long lol.

 

lol, I made that same cut in about 1.5 min with a sawzall. sucker

That was because I was too lazy to drill out the rivits..which is what you should be doing it looks like. If you must use the hacksaw just get a 14tpi bi metal balde.

 

I would have just drilled out the rivets/plug welds or used a plasma cutter and blow them out.

 

Elbow grease takes time. I'm not going to sit at work for 5 hours cutting off a bracket that would take 5 minutes to remove with the proper tools.

I'd love to see someone justify that to a customer. "Oh, there's an extra $350 on that invoice because I had to saw off this one bracket for 5 hours at $70 an hour."

 

I dont have a plasma cutter, and I dont have a drill bit that can pop out the rivets muchless a drill powerfull enough to spin the bit and I dont have a leet saw... but what I do have is a meatlocker to hold my junk into place when im wearing my shorts... that was totally an accident Tony UGH!!!

Not everyone has access to tools like that.

I don't see why an angle grinder with a cutting disc would not work, the disc are pretty thin and you can get some accurate cuts.

If not get a different hack saw blade design to cut metal.

 

I think I have someone pretty local willing to drill these out, if not then ill go to my buddy ek four's house he runs a honda chop shop over there.

 

this dude up the street is gonna hook it up and pop the rivets out and spot weld my seat brackets yay.

 

sawzall .
