Hello,
I am at the point in my rustoration that I ready to weld in my suspension pickups and I have some questions from the experts here on making sure I get the measurements and alignments correct.
I have completed by inner long, inner wheelhouse and rear long. All are welded in and I have confirmed all the proper measurements and pitch, etc. When I started the project, I built a jig to the do the local measurements on the trailing arm, but I did not do the more advanced jigs that span across the driver/passnger sides that I have seen from threads like Jeff Hail's rustoration or the "Rust Diary" one by Wes Vann.
I have cleaned up my outer pickup and bought the AA inner suspension piece.
MY questions are...
Should I make a full suspension jig from one of my other 914's?
*-- or --*
Can I count on the basic measurements and line things up with a template?
Interested in the opinions here from people who have done this and been sucessful getting thier ride back on the road with it going straight down the road <g/>.
My project is documented @
