Yamaha rockers

ttype86 · 04-26-2011, 02:26 AM

My 02 yamaha G16A golf cart has a bent passenger side rocker. Not the rocker panel but the actual metal part attached to the frame. I cant find an available part for replacement anywhere. Im gona try to bend it back and straighten it out but i have doubts itll be good enough to properly attach the rocker panels i want. Im tryin to stay away from having to fabricate a section. Thought itd be much easier to order an actual replacement to cut and weld a section off that. Its bent from the front fender to about 8 in back from that.

Mine is bent in the same spot on the drivers side. I was thinking of using a come-a-long to pull it back. There is not a good way to get any leverage. Any other ideas?

I bent mine back and welded it and slapped the rocker panels on. It wasnt easy. Alot of prying and tapping. I layed a piece of wood along the rocker to make sure it was straight enough. The aftermarket rocker panels actually only require 2 screws to mount them onto the rocker. You just drill 2 holes through the rocker and attach them. They DO NOT use the factory rivet holes like i thought, so it really doesnt have to be perfect.
