I cut a Harbour freight 22mm socket down so it is the same height as the nut, and Welded it to a Piece of flat steel bar.

I tried it out, but it stuck up a little too much on the one side to where I couldn't get a wrench on it, so I grinded the one side down. And it worked like a champ.

I only did one coat on the rad support, because I might have to cut and move the lower brace to install the vmount. After I get that all pre fit I will finish cutting it in and clear it

I used my cheap harbor freight gun.I got it to spray the por 15 paint, because I don't want to spray that through my good spray gun. Believe it or not, it actually sprays really well
