It doesnt hit with the rearend all the way hanging down. and I have plenty of room with the rearend on the ground. Any sugjestions Kasey 6098267-0721001753.jpg (76 downloads)

O can make a spacer, and use a carriage bolt and bolt it down back there. Oh and I really need to store this car in a dryer environment, the humidity killed the paint on the tranny.

I used the old school 26.00 safety loop.......bolted through the floor and with a little heat and beat , it is a very snug fit. Now that I am switching to a 904 , I may have to move mine , but then , I could also shove the motor back a bit since I am switching to motor plates too. Last edited by tubtar; 07/21/10 09:02 PM.

Back when we had tech stands. Now days at a lot of tracks, if you have the $ for the entry fee, you pass tech. Glad to see you care enough to do it right. Brian Dunnigan
