I finished welding the rear tabs onto the 'upper' mounts today. That wasn't actually as simple as it looks in the pics. The tab is out of 3/8" thick material with the back milled out at an angle where it overlaps.
Next week I need to machine off a half-moon shape out of that solid block so that it mates nicely with the tube.

Thanks

did you already buy solid steel for that spacer? you could probably use square or rectangular tubing and it'd be cheaper and easier to notch... and prob just as strong.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

OOO looking goodI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

Cool, that will work. I'll just take the frame rail section/tab welded and figure out the rest on the car.
Thanks man!

They're done!
The mounts are done and ready to ship out, so final payments are now due. Please make sure to include your shipping address along with the paypal payment. At the bottom of this post is your coating choice and payment balance. If I messed up, let me know asap.
For those of you who requested powdercoating, I'll be shipping your mounts to Jon on tomorrow. Also, please confirm with him on the color you want and remember that you will pay him the cost of the coating and shipping to you.
Those of you who requested zinc plating, I am dropping those off tomorrow at the plater.
I apologize in advance that some of the weld beads don't look so good - my welder has been acting up.
