drivers front. any reason I cant do this with brake line?

 

[cooter]

I guess this is my steering stop?

 

[cooter]

brake line rubs. so I moved brake line tab rearward 1.25". solved that problem.

these are 15x7 Camaro wheels. I can always change backspaceing to move wheel outboard for more line clearance.

Don't care too much for the banjo bolt cantactiing the axle......the locking bolt for the kingpin is usually used as the stop..

Cooter, how far to the passenger side does the rear end move to the right when it travels?

I would attach the left ( driver side) mount under the frame rail. the more level you can get it, the less side to side movement will happen. This is mine and I don't have any noticeable movement. I.M.O. I working on other thing but it will be level with myself in it.

this beam has an allen that holds king pin in.

So put in a longer allen bolt w/a locknut then a crown nut on the end ..... Worked for me....

talked to RPM, prolly wont turn this far once steering box and drag link hooked up. ill move to another dept. till I can afford more parts.

Yep--Tires will hit radius rods before the spindle sees that much movement.

I'll be interested in seeing what you do. I'll probably have the same issue. Car is looking good!!!! We'll have to get together soon.

 

[cooter]

Tryin to figure where pedals need to go? Guess ill focus some thought there now.

should I just cut firewall straight across on top of frame rails instead of leaving that 3" piece hanging down? I think so.

 

[cooter]

I laid pencil across engine bellhousing and straitedge to transfer to firewall. is this how you would do this?
