Well, the hole itself was repaired, but I was just able to excavate as seen below. Surrounding area is ice pick proof. What are the best "fixes" to be done while keeping the car together? It does not extend into the interior either and the side runners are very solid (had been replaced too).

I'm sure glad you found one in stock at AA with a donut Ken.
It looks like your car has a perfectly good donut that could have been re-used though. Ours have holes pre-punched for plug welding onto the chassis, even where the donut goes - same places the factory welded them. The donut should be welded on after the triangle is installed. BTW, my price includes shipping. Since Sir Andy's assembly line exposee thread proves the donuts are there to support the car it makes perfect sense to use them as jackstand locations. Hence the nickname "jacking donut". The rears especially are plenty strong to support the car, at least when the metal is healthy. There are two problems using the rear donuts to lift the car with a floor jack: it twists the chassis, and you can't put a jackstand there when a floor jack is already there. |
