Revised the Diff mount. Took the one that used the 2 pointing in arrows from the diff cover. Studs will mount in this mount at the top and will go up through the Diff mount holes and receive 12 point nuts there. Dropped it off at the machine shop today.

Picked up the front suspension lower A-arm mounts. 1/4 inch 4130 cut on a water jet. They mount straight up as shown to get the wheels in as close to the engine as possible. Everything on this little car is unreal tight....

Next is the rear lower susp mounts.

Hay jim if your gonna change to poly bushings mock them up now they are wider then the stock rubber ones. I learned the hard way. The are pretty cheap and allow you to rebuild the used arms. The balljoints are easy to push out also to powder coat the arms. Or anodize.....

The uppers are more important then the lowers.
