Question for the Contractor types....or Hardware savvy in general. The Bolts that hold the bracket for the snowplow on my Polaris are a total PITA to put on. It isn't a perfect fit, and is a PAIN, the bracket broke and my buddy had a new one welded up, this thing is STOUT now, but I am curious what the quick release type bolts are called? The ones that look like a beefy hood pin. I am thinking it won't be quite as hard to remove and install after it's broke in good, but OMG today sucked getting that plow on!!!! It just got welded up this morning, plowed like a champ!

I think I know what kinda pins your talking about. Its a pin with a heavy wire circle that flips over the pin to keep it in place, not sure what the name of it is though.

Maybe not, sounds like ya need something that might hold a little better.

Well until tonight I havent heard of the foam stuff to go under the laminate flooring! Im glad Brent said something to me. Just another added expense I guess!

We always called them "ouch pins"
Guess the real name is a linch pin.

Buffalo Wild Wings is a good one too....4 of them popped up around Richmond area in last 2 years...too much hassle with ABC license IMO

I dont blame you, opening one store would be enough work, I cant Imagine trying to get two open unless you had already hired two full time managers.

Just hard to keep in place while you are slamming the planks together, which is why I like the backed laminate. EDIT- Here's some good info http://www.woodsthebest.com/Flooring...derlayment.htm

I suppose that would work well, but wouldnt allow any give...It would only be a problem if using a cheap grade of laminate, any mid to high end stuff will be stout enough to be okay.
