Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"

Now back to the rear shocks and lower mounts.

I decided to use this hole It is just mirrored off the original bracket on the opposite side. The other holes just didn't work out as I thought.



I cut the brackets with the plasma and smoothed the edges, and formed on the press brake. Time for a test fit.





I ended up having to obround one of the holes because my u bolts are a hair over bent, Just to make installation easier. Then I made some gussets to add a bit of overkill to them.



I put the new brackets on and installed new .5" x 2.5" bolts, press fit
