Did you build a jig to make sure the new parts were all lined up nicely?

I have a parts car that I used for measurements to check its location. It should not be a problem. I hope

They pretty much fall into place. I bolt a control arm crossshaft into the ear and the 3 bolt holder and snug everything down before I weld. I also take 3-4 measurements from various "non-variable" locations on the tub to the ear. If you get it too far forward you wont get enough toe in... too far back and you wont get enough toe out.

I havent seen Bern's latest pics.. but he is still 4-6 hours from finishing just from these pics. They still need to make the new scab plates that run from the outside frame rail onto the new ear.

Brad tell me how to do this as I am not sure what you mean. Do you have a picture showing this scab plate that you make and how far should it wrap around the frame?

Bern,

you are not done with the scab plates.. look at the other side of the car or a parts car. The scab plates tie the new ear to the outside frame rail.


Let me find a pic.
