Yea ****'s write up on D-series is what I used for reference when I did mine two years ago.

Fifth gen has the bracket welded into the chassis :1
It's really ------- annoying when you are looking around U-pull-it for the one you need and can't find any 6th gen chassis.

Re: Auto to Manual Conversion Q

you can buy the mount from majestichonda.com. Do the welder return thing, and bam, you have it done the right way for around 25 bucks.

Re: Auto to Manual Conversion Q

Don't spend $130 on a conversion mount. I only paid $150 for my harbor freight flux core.

When I did my auto to manual conversion, I drilled the spot welds on the auto mount. Then I took the grinder to it to make it come straight off the frame instead of angling up. Then welded it back on. It was easy, and the only money I spent was on a welder that has proved useful on other projects.
