The early models using the 1.6 and 2.0 have different engine mounts. I can’t speak for the CMC, but my FiberFab frame was made to simply bolt in the mounts for the 2.3. That aside,   anything else should not be too hard to make work.

How about a MustangII doner? Same thing.

A side note…

This weekend was the Giant’s Despair Hillclimb outside of Wilkes-Barre, PA. My son went for the first time. David ran the Sharpie car and on his second run set a new class record.

Okay, here you go. A collection of photos and film from this years Pagoda Hillclimb. At the end of the run at the turnaround the first person you see in the shadows on the right is our very own Ed Ericson (edsnova).

Well, I’m much too far away to make this affordable, but can you do me a favor? I’m curious as to the back spacing on these. Can you just lay a straightedge on the back side and measure down to the mounting face? I wonder what that number is.

Yee Haw !!!

Great news. Congratulations.

Enjoy your summer !!

Check the grounds. Always first step in a non metal car.

You’re in Malvern. Carlisle is 1-1/2 hours away. There is a small army of kit car owners here more than willing to assist. The hotel parking lot sometimes resemble a race car paddock. Remember to attend in the future.

Good luck with inspection.

Ok, I stopped on my way home from work and, surprisingly, he had brought them in. Hopefully my photos will make it.

All right! Four fronts and one rear(pulled at random). He has no use for these and basically wants the room they take up. He will pretty much accept the first offer he gets.

1 week to go. Who else is heading up Thursday?

Yes, 14″x4-1/2″.

Oh, and the wires on my car are 14″. Look great.

One of my customers saw my car today for the first time and informed me he has a set of knock off wire wheels from his daughters 1966 MGB. All he has is the wheels. No attaching parts. He says he’ll bring them in for me to photograph. If anyone has interest, stay tuned for photos. He sounds as if he’ll accept any reasonable offer.

Mine also arrived yesterday. Really looking forward to this mini vacation.

MG Magic has these…

A panhard rod is a strut or brace you mount to the frame on one side of the car and to the rear on the opposite side. This keeps he body centered over the axle preventing side to side stress on he suspension.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_rod

At the very least, install a panhard rod to prevent the springs from breaking.

The frame under my FiberFab Ford TDr is massive in comparison to what sits on it. It’s box channels with steel supports for the cowl and rear apron. The weakest link would be in FiberFabs idea of rear suspension. Eliminate the cut up leaf springs and build a multi link with coil overs and a panhard rod.

Don’t stop there!

After all that work you need to finish it.

I have spoken…

It’s just a flat piece of glass. Any good glass shop, not necessarily a windshield specialist, should be able to cut a new one given a sample. They should know you will need laminated safety glass, but you might want to remind them. I’ve had a couple done this way.

Yes, the two square plates mount to the bottom of the seat back. The hinges slide into that tapered space allowing you to lift the seat back out.

Can’t see enough of the other piece to identify it.
