Rockhauler Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Paul, I was leaning towards the newer style but I chickened out because I didn’t want to butcher my new headliner. There is a story behind that. CJ I hear you CJ as it requires two holes one for each brackets aligning pin and one for the screw. I was more worried I'd slip up and drill a hole through the roof. I was so impressed with the result from the first set that I immediately replaced the ones in my other truck. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I was more worried I'd slip up and drill a hole through the roof. Paul While restoring Big Brother, I was scared for the same reason (don’t remember what, but had to drill something to the ceiling). I still remember how nervous I was, imagining the bit through the freshly painted roof. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul You probably know about these, they are handy. https://www.harborfreight.com/7-piece-drill-stop-set-38336.html I still have some homemade ones I used on #30 drill bits. They're 1/8 (I think) steel tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I put in Darth, I had to recover them to match the headliner and other interior trim. The lower one unclips and can be swung to the side, upper one can then be swung down as needed.
