Hi All,
Undertaking a full front frame rail replacement on my 74 260z.
We have welded in the engine swap cradle and now the welder ran into an issue while welding on the tension rod mounts.
Using the dimensions in the diagram attached. The tension rod mounts would have to be moved up an inch.
Obviously with stock tension rods, this would mess with the suspension. However, would adjustable tension rods solve this issue (allow for enough caster adjustment) if we had to weld the mounts an inch forward?
Pictures to follow.

I hope these picture clarify.
From our understanding the chassis diagram calls for 13 inches from the strut tower center to the backside of the mount. We are only getting about 12 inches from the strut tower center till the furthest (closest to the firewall) point the compression rod mount can be welded.
