I welded a new jack tube on to the replacement wheelhouse section from Restoration Design today, aligning it perfectly with the square hole that came pre-punched in the new panel. When I started fitting the jack post brace, I had to adjust the bends on it by about 1/8" to get it to fit right. I am having a hard time getting accurate measurements from the old chunk of long I have because it is a disaster.
The question is, how reliable is the pre-punched guide hole? Should I just roll with it? Anyone else run into something similar? Thanks in advance. Pics: |

When I replaced the jack point on the passenger side, I had to sink the jack tube into the long. I was told that production longs had an indentation behind the jack tube.
My jack tube does not stick out that far from the support plate. You may have to sink the tube into the replacement long. Check the back of the original long piece to see if it is recessed. |
