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) |

I am right where you are. Your pics looks so familiar, same color, too. That engine tray is a pain. I assume there needs trimming at the front or bending maybe. I have Osphoed all the new parts and am ready to re-align the console. I made a jig to locate the ear prior to cutting out the oud one. I will bolt on the jig and position the console according to it, should be OK. What size spot weld holes? I've seen 1/8" to 1/4" suggested.
BTW, I've had some medical problems lately that have kept me from working on it. Am better, but not 100%. We have some great weather here now so it sucks just setting and looking at the teener. Old dad in INDY. |
