Bruce,
Thanks so much for your help and guidance - that's what is great about this Forum. There are no pads remaining, but I am sure that I will have plenty of pig mats and painters tape on hand. I appreciate the tip on the oversize side holes. What's the recommended order of bolt tightening? I would assume that I should get the correct horizontal attitude and tighten the side bumper bolts furthest toward the front first and then work my way back. Is that correct?
Thanks again,
BWB
