| Hi all! I am looking to put weights on the front of my D17. I looked at some pics and it looks like the weight bracket is held on by two 5/8 bolts on each side? On the left side I have two threaded holes in the right spot but on the right side I only have one, the front hole is in the sheet metal but not in the casting. It does not look like it was ever there, I scraped smooth with a screwdriver because I thought perhaps there was a broken bolt in the hole. Anyone ever see this before? Drill and tap? Thank you in advance, Jim |

For factory front weights on a 17, the bolt holes are in different locations on each side. The brace is longer on the right side than the left.
Hopefully you can see it here ...

| Thank you very much for posting. I don't have the weight bracket yet but was looking it over in preparation, it makes much more sense now |
