I had to install brackets ad this car only had the appearance group from the factory. Can't wait to try it.

Cut the notch. Not a fun place to grind but with all the practice I had on the rust repair and all the neat wheels and disks board members suggested to me I got it done. Lots of sparks to the face.

Welded in backplate, treated everything with metal ready and Por 15 (except the mating areas I welded which got weld through primer). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Final install. I used wooden blocks to parallel everything with the car. I checked it against the front bulkhead and the floor. I had to jockey it around in the 1"(well it's now a little bigger than 1") hole a little to line it up. That's why the bar looks off center in the hole.

Greased up with lithium grease (red stuff). Now I guess a lube and oil change will really be what it's named. Turns nice and quiet.

Man, Dave, you are getting with the program. Every week you're making progress.
The zerc fitting on the sway bar bushing is a new one. Haven't seen that before. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Mike |

I like grease. Part of my drive way is gravel and with the zerk fittings I can lube it whenever I want. Hopefully, I can flush some of the road dust out kind of like they do with heavy equipment.

I'm still more of a grinder than a welder but, the u-tab is stuck good.
