The supplied and impossible to find 6m x .8 : 12-32 : 1/4-32 ( all I know is it is NOT a 6m-1.0) on the left, and the 1/4-28 that Lowes had a bin full of on the right, and most tap and die kits contain. Makes sense to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)


Check with Elephant Racing -- last time I checked with Churck, he has upsized the zerk fittings to 6mm because the 5mm ones break too easily (ask me why I asked Chuck...). I upsized all of mine while everything was out and easy to drill/install.

The idea behind Jim's car is to keep the "stock sleeper" look to the car, including the original 4-bolt fuchs.

Got the swaybar bushing installed with a little help from our friends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Made some mounting brackets to look factory and installed all today.

Jim,
no offense but did you realize you needed that much rust repair going in? Seems it would have been easier to get a CA tub and transplant your running gear into it. At least you've got the master behind the torch.

Jim, you're gonna love those see-thru floor pans. I had Scotty install a set for me. I still haven't quite got the hang of them, as my butt still drags the ground when I sit in the car and make vroom-vroom noises. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
