Today I began the process of replacing the right rear suspension ear. I purchased my pieces from Restoration-Design. The pieces included the right engine shelf, suspension ear, battery tray and battery support.
I began by removing the center section of the engine tray. This shows the spot-welds drilled out. I used a 1/4" drill bit. Any spotw-welds that weren't completely drilled out I used a air hammer to complete the separation. 1 of 6 Attached image(s) |

Finally, the top view. You'll notice that the engine shelf doesn't exactly fit, so I'll be 'persuading' it into position, using a SFH.
I'm planning the following: Spray all of the new pieces and the engine compartment with a primer before I begin the welding. Drill spot-weld holes (1/4" or 7/16") ? I will position the ear 21 7/16" from the firewall. Recommendation for persuading the engine shelf into place? Any other recommendation? Attached image(s) |
