Spring perch, where to weld?
We completed the rear spring over and are starting the front today.
Question #1, what is everyone doing about front spring perch placement? Are you welding the new perches paralell with the old perches and them shimming for camber? or Welding the perches with angle for the camber? Or a combo of both, weld some angle & shim to correct?
This is a straight SOA on a 73'Commando with new stock height Alcans. From reading the search here and talking with others: the stock angle is 4 degress and I should need about 12 degress when I'm done. Right?
Question #2, M.O.R.E. wants $70 for the longer front brake lines (stainless). Seems a bit high to me and for my budget. NAPA store dude didn't want to help. I know I've seen someone post the part number they used but I can't find them now.
