I received a new snail mount from Vicks and noticed that it is quite a bit thicker than the original. The area that the lower left bolt attaches is about a quarter of inch thicker and lower right 1/8 inch thicker which doesn't allow the bolts to go in deep enough to prevent coolant from dripping out.
So is the best way to correct this is to machine the bolt areas with a grinding disk on my dremel or should I just get some longer bolts to make up the differences? That seems like a hell of alot of material to remove.
If anyone else has been in a similar situation, I'd love to hear your solution.
