I can't remember what this was for, maybe the hatch springs. I want to remove it to mount the regulator.
Can I use a chisel between it and the body? I don't want to massacre the engine bay. thanks, dr Attached image(s)

Yup that is what it is for. Drill the welds out and it should fall right off. Chisels and hammer will really screw it up.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) no holes. take a cutoff wheel to the *hoop* and cut it out, then use a spotweld drill bit on the spotwelds. should come right off without holes in the trunk.

Drill the spot-welds, or take an angle-grinder to the loop. You'll need to touch up the bare metal parts regardless of how you remove it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I was going to put the regulator and fuel lines at the forward bulkhead but then I realized that the carbs are much closer to the rear bulkhead. Will keep all the fuel lines nice and tidy to the rear of the bay. dr |
