Grill bushing/mount

Post by rdsar2k »

I found some 2" dia. 5/16" thick bushings with a 3/4" hole that I am fgoing to try to use as the grill mount on my M170 since I can't find any replacement parts for it. They are cheap. I was going to stack two on top and two on bottom (with a little sanding to get the 9/16" needed for each pair). What do you think?

If it works I'll post it in the parts forum.
