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;

Nice write up. Thanks for taking the time.

So let me ask --- after you drill the drain holes, is there anything that should be sprayed up inside that area to kill any rust that's there or prevent any new from forming after all the heat?

A good question!

When I had the consoles off, I sprayed the inside with 3m "weld-through". All of the pieces I added had the back side sprayed with weld-through and also the consoles where they would be covered by the plates.

When I drill the drain holes, I'll most likely just srpay a bunch of Rustoleum in the hole.
