Hey Guys i finally got under my project, and discovered i am missing driver sides rear jack point, it looks like it ripped out, what's weird is that it isn't rusty underneath. Is it easy to weld in??? In the meantime where can I introduce a jackstand on that side that won't crunch vitals?? I am going to get sucked into this real easy I can tell already cause these cars are the *&%$!! No WCC for me this year but next year is In my sights. What goes on there?? Everyone go on drives and swap meet/Car show type gig? Help Me I AM INFLICTED!! ARE YOU!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Bruce, I'm glad someone is reading what I'm posting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The donuts really really don't have much support. If you look at nearly every car, the floor under the dash is deformed upwards from using the front donuts to lift the car. The rears have a little more support because of triangulation, but I still don't like using them. This product is a good solution.

(IMG:http://www.eastwoodco.com/images/us//local/products/detail/p2406.jpg) I pay attention, just sometimes I don't remember who, when or where. I looked at the donuts on the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) car and unlike most NA cars/trucks those which have reinforced jack points that sort of look like the donuts, the donuts are a single piece of metal welded. Not much strength. On the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) car they crumbled. Yikes.....$20 for a piece of "C" channel with some flat bar welded to it with a piece of pipe for centering.......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Jim....motor mounts are cheap.....think how much a tranny case costs to replace (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
