Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Rear frame is painted, two coats primer and two coats black.
Thats ready to take the IRS

But paint has to dry...so on with drilling out broken bolts of that same IRS.
Bolt is out, but I have to make new thread.
It was 7/16 and it will be M12 metric, because I have enough of that
I made a bolt just like the original on the lathe, except it's an M12.
No pics yet, sorry.

I also did consult NoClassic, because he also has Jag IFS, and is "two" steps ahead of me...I belief he's in driving state
I asked him about the shockmount measurement, and what I came up with is almost the same as what NoClassic has. So took the Grinder and made some mounts:



I made them of 5mm thick angled steel.
This is what it looks like:





Sorry about the hand and the bad quality of the pics, made with my cellphone....
