if you make the two wholes on the core support bigger it gives you some much needed wiggle room . you'll be surprised how much alignment gets better with just a slight movement. once you get them where you want them. place a washer (with correct ID )to cover enlarged whole, trace perimeter and cut it out, weld washer of correct gauge to match core support and you'll have a nice pretty finish with correct whole location.
also playing with shims ( adding / subtracting ) on door shaft I also used a washer / shim on the core support bolts between core and housing to tilt up or down.
its going to take some pulling and pushing on the rest of it.
hope this helps

Oh I'm a master with the shims thats for sure Frank!! I did exactly what you said and it does help a ton. What worries me the most is Troy said every time he took something off the car it never went back the same. These assemblies mount to the core support witch mount to the sub frame so I'm trying to come up with way to,PIN/MARK everything that the assemblies mount to and hopefully it will help when they go back together

Good Luck! |
Troy tried once to talk me out of it but did I listen.
It's always been one of my favorite front ends since I can remember there was no way it wasn't going on my car.
