Outer cover for universal joint

[CHerdic]

Having trouble replacing the upper half of outer cover on 28 tudor universal joint. Guard on top hits the cross frame member. Any ideas?

Maybe you have a problem with the frame sagging or the front or rear motor mounts. Last year I installed my 28 U joint cover with the tab on the top half and it cleared the middle crossmember by about 3/16", give of take 1/16". I would suspect that maybe the front motor mount maybe too high, causing the U joint cover to be too low. Does the front crank hole cover correctly line up with the crankshaft ratchet nut?

The front motor mount (not original style) is being replaced. This will lower the U joint .
However I still have slight misalignment with the top cover "arm" and the frame cross member. Does this arm piece go above or below the cross member?

I appreciate your interest. CH
