[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 444127, member: 22335"] Just for information.... I redid the bedding. First scraped off the JB, then taped up the mount and bead blasted the bottom metal that actually mates with the receiver so that the next attempt would bond well. I then applied new JB to the mount and reinstalled it but made 2 changes. The front screws were torqued to spec at 25 in-lbs and the rear screw was not used at all. I took a nail of the correct dimension, placed tape on it about an inch from the end, and used the nail to fill the rear hole as well as properly align the rear mount. So, the rear of the mount was allowed to "float" so that the mount isn't stressed at all in the rear. After a couple of hours I removed the nail and threaded the rear screw in and out to make sure the threads in the receiver were clear. I'm not removing it now. I'll just have to assume it looks fine underneath. :D [/QUOTE]
