I am welding in the inner suspension ear and I am trying to figure out what dimensions have to be exact and which can be accommodated in the regular suspension adjustment. I will of course try to get it perfect but I am looking for any gotchas that I have not thought about yet.
I know I should have jigged it up before I got started but that was years ago and that ship has sailed. If you have any thoughts on how to build a jig and do it now I'm all ears but I have not been able to figure out a truly reliable method yet. Thanks, John |

QUOTE(Jeff Hail @ Jun 24 2012, 02:16 PM)  This will get you there. OK I have the piece in place but my dimensions are slightly off but as far as I can tell symmetrical. I have 33.75 between the outside face of the suspension ears(jef has 33.5). When I measure from the front edge of the hole in the suspension ear to the center of the fire wall I get 27.25 (Jeff has 28.25). I may not have the correct place that you indicate Jeff but I could not find a hole that seemed completely centered. Thanks, John |
