RebekahsZ Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Car is at roll bar shop and I'm freaking out because I almost never ask anyone else work on it. And I'm worried I'm gonna piss off fabricator by micromanaging him. He has the skills and tools that i lack but he isn't a z-guy or a sports car guy. So, I'm gonna piss you guys off instead😊. From the looks of it, the main hoop is going to make at least one, if not both, quarter window mounting screws inaccessible. How do you guys handle that? Special custom screwdriver or do you cut off the quarter window tabs and weld them back on in a different location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 90 degree screw driver or use small socket head cap screws and a modified hex key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thank you. I'm gonna run by the ship after work on Monday and pull the quarter windows so they are out of his way. Thanks for the Prozac, johnc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snailed Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 If you don't have a 90* screwdriver you can just just use a regular hex drive screwdriver bit and a 1/4" wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yea, that was definitely a problem point. I used a 90* low profile ratcheting screw driver, or cut a flat phillips groove into it and turn it using a side of a flat head (flathead turned 90* so it fits in the groove).

Aaj2k5 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I used button head cap screws and use the stubby side of an Allen key - works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ghtymaxXx Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-29-pc-screwdriver-set-0588626p.html#.U4N2ZvldXAQ This little tool kit is a staple of Mastercraft socket sets from Canadian Tire up here. There must be something similar available stateside, seems like the ticket for the task you're describing.

RebekahsZ Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I switched from a short screw to a short, small bolt. Now I can use a combination wrench on it. It is tedious but ot beat redesigning the hole placement. Evidently I'm no longer proficient with a long screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
