I need a little input here, please.
I’m replacing the suspension console with a new piece from RD and have hit a stumbling block. Before I removed the original unit, I took a number of measurements, and made a jig/fixture to locate the bolt hole right on the money. The car I bolted to a cart and supported at the front and rear suspension and the trans mount area and the rear firewall,also have door braces installed. Yes, I plan to completely sandblast the area and make sure there isn’t more damage, and Yes, I am going to make a patch for the skin portion I removed. I was doing some quick test fitting of the new console and when I bolt my jig to it and make sure the bolt hole is on it’s proper position,,,,,,,the front of the console has about a 3/8 inch gap between it and the long. I’m wondering if anyone else had run into this issue? I’m sure I can cut & modify the piece to make it fit and close the gap,,,,,but I hate to do that if this is just. “Blemish” part & I should maybe just get another one? I’ll try to post pics to show what is happening. Attached thumbnail(s)
