wheee! Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thank you! It’s a work in progress.... The bottom mount will remain as a support for the rear control arms and added bracing. I don’t see the need to remove it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yep, nothing wrong with that. In my case, I eliminated it to give more clearance for the exhaust. Others remove it for weight savings. The little U clips on the rear mounts of the LCA inner spindle also fit the forward mounts. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks...I'm a little OCD and when you start saying "while I'm doing this, I might as well do that..." things go sideways a little. 3 years in to the restoration already. It's all documented on the classiczcars site, same username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 For all this talk of OCD.... nobody has specified which mount they used cutting the urethane to match the nose of the R200. Whee! did a great writeup, photos, dimensions, etc.... but never said if he started with the 3-1108R or the 3-1158G! There's roughly an 8mm difference in height between the two and that looks to be what he cut in the arch when you take into account the bottom doubler strap is removed to make the ears fit "flat"! So there's the big question: Are you arching the 1108 or did you arc cut the 1158? Inquiring minds want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Actually, I believe I did mention that I bought the kit from techno versions. It is a modified 1108 that I cut down a bit further to eliminate the angle adjustment needed for V8 conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
