Artmorrison Install Help

[johnnymac46]

I am test fitting my Tri-4bar on my 68 Camaro.

I've gotten the old rails out of the way and raised the AME into place. The rear of clip is up against the rear valance without having the rear caps in place. As I continue to jack the rest of the clip into place the front of the Clip is hitting on the floor pan where it drops down into the rear foot area.

Also the bend in the rails looks too far forward to line up with the floor pan.

My first thought was to trim the rear of the rails 1/2" to give it the needed clearance and make up for it with the rear cap.

I just figured I would ask Lateral-G before I start cutting into a piece of Artwork.

I hope the pics help

Any Help is greatly appreciated

Send a PM to Matt, silver69camaro. He designed it and he answers promptly, usually the next day in my experience. Great company to deal with.

Hi Johnny (I assume that's your name),
From the photos shown everything looks OK so let's go a bit further with the photos. You can send them to my email if you'd like, I'll PM you my address.

One thing to do if you haven't already is jack the clip into place with floor jacks with enough force to almost lift the back of the car. This ensures a tight fit, but I suspect you've done that already.

We have never had anyone need to trim the rails to make it fit but considering the history of these cars it wouldn't be a big surprise. In the end, the biggest deal is to make sure it's tight against the floor and checked for squareness.

Thanks for the help, I talked to Kevin at AME today and he had me on the right path by the time I was off work at noon.

I had to add some extra weight in the car to allow the Jack to do it's job.

In the end Art Morrison is on the top of list of places to shop again. Great company and a great customer service.

Thanks
