fabricating rear suspension console ties, web page, submitted for your approval Options

[Wes V]

When the rear suspension consoles are removed and replaced, or just plain replaced, the ties between them get messed up.

Only one of the two ties are still available.

I did a fair amount of searching and couldn't find any real write-up showing what to do.

So,

Here is a link to show how I fabricated replacements;

What a weird coincidence. I just did mine last weekend. I was wondering if
these bits were aftermarket console stiffening or if they were factory.

I made mine using paper templates, then tacked them on and finished fitting
them using a hammer. I used 16 gauge for mine, hope that is good enough.

I had to replace my inner console because it was crumbling with rust.

Good post and pictures Wes, wish I had seen this before doing mine.

I need to drill the drain holes.



I know my welds are ugly but I try not to grind too much to avoid annoying
my neighbors...
