Thanks Blacky, but apparently the "triangulated" 4 link is not as good for what I want to do with it and usually the triangulated bars are the top bars on the 4 link.Blacky wrote:Why couldnt you run a diagonal with the lower bars of your 4 link ? - that will give you back your clearance for your pipes
I have done the prefit on the Booster and master cylinder, Brake pedal has been moved to the centre of the "firewall to dash" brace so I have plenty of clearance on the bonnet hinges, in the "final-final" fit (after some $##%$&*) ... it is now closer to the hinge.
I have "peened" the metal on the brace so there is no contact with the top of the pedal shaft:
"Original":
Modified:
Also made up the mounts for the Torana "outriggers", welded nut to 6mm doubler plate and closed the "outrigger mount" in with plate to make it look neater:
External view:
Internal view, clearance has been allowed for between the "new mount" and the outrigger mount for the polyurethane bush that will be fitted:
Also changed the Powerglide pan to increase ground clearance:
And prefit check on the polished S/S uni joints and 3/4" DD intermediate steering shaft:
), etc.............. The reason for it still being on the rottis' is next week all the bits will be removed and she will be rolled on her side to do all the final welds on the "new bits that have been tacked on" and final painted underneath...... we have been doing some tests at work to see what will cover "body deadner" and have found that one of the products we use on the Alloy boats that does it perfectly (no leaching and cures completely), we tried chipping it off and it is almost bullet proof, available in virtually any colour, is 2 pack and a completely sealed finish so it will be very easy to keep clean.
