Made some room in the shop. Enough to fend off garage fever.

Cut off the old left outer console.

Measure everything nine times. Remeasured again and triangulated again from every control point. Used Chris's supplied templates which so far are dead nuts.
Its cutt'n time.

Product Placement (of the Foley kind)

Left pickup test fit...

Funny thought.. the rear suspension hardware was one of the first box's packed away when I tore down the car. Smartly labeled took me just a minute to find those 3 console bolts.

Cut out the right long and test fit the right pickup.

Dimensionally width wise its less than 1mm and height side to side is dead nuts.
Took some measurements in process and need to move the pickups forward 5mm to correct the wheelbase length to spec.

(Another plug for Mr. Foley and his precision. I call it Lana but he deserves the mention - Thanks Chris!!!!!!!!)

Moving the pickups 5mm forward to match factory wheelbase base will also separate the pickups by the desired 1/2 inch (1/4 inch per side). This will result in a total 1/2 inch wider track over stock. (think ahead?? wheel spacers maybe/ maybe not with 9 inch rear wheels). Worry about that when I get there. Also with a 3.2 six a little bit to spare is a plus.

Foley Pickups squared and tacked in.

Went to trial fit the control arm... and snapped the zerk fitting.. Stuff happens..oh well.

Need to trim a bit off the long anyway to clear the pivot axis of the arm as it sits 2 inches higher now.

Trimmed the longs enough to mount the arms. Wheelbase is dead nuts. Total increase in track width is 24mm (12mm each side).

Checked camber without any shims. Left rear is 1-3/8 degree. Right rear is 1-1/2 degree.

Wiggle room. I'd rather have more camber without shims than less so I will tweak the left rear inner pickup downward prior to final burn in.

I will need to pull the hubs into the bearings next. To check the toe I would like to mount wheels so I can measure bead to bead.

Maybe I missed something. Why are you moving the trailing arms out? Great work by the way.

Pulled the frozen 911 hubs into the bearings. But first applied thread lock and torqued the bearing retainers. Everything that gets torqued to spec gets marked. No hindsight and oh Shi# did I do that crap? Cant forget the 5mm spacer.
