Thank you all for your safety warnings. My middle name is SAFE so I already always wear safety glasses whenether I drill or grind. I also wore gloves, full length sleeves, pants and always use a vice grip or one of the lock plyers (not sure what they "official" name is) to hold the object I am grinding.

Flamable objects are a good point, I will make sure to be very careful.

But for now Mr. Grinder is just sitting there with no task on his list. Just there in case I ever need him. Mr. Squeeky will not necessitate the grinder. For him I intend to use other torture devices, mostly hand operated, such as a hand file. I bought several to prepare for the torture session hehehehe.

Floor is all wood, and it seems that there is a first large panel that covers the whole floor but has a semi large hole near the stick shift, where tranny is biggest. Then there is a second piece of wood, much smaller (maybe 4 feet square or so) that covers that opening. It is probably nailed or bolted on the main floor board panel. I think that once I remove it I will see where trany is sitting. I believe it is not rubbing against the main floor board, only rubbing again the 4 feet square piece. I can then file down the areas where Mr. Squeeky is partying and send him back to Noid heaven (hopefully).

Since there is rain on our forecast for Monday, I think I will tackle all of this then .
