Default Re: Tradel Bishop AV8 question on a 30 -31 body

Another error is that claiming that the distance between the mounting holes of the F1 front shock mount is the same as the bolts at the ends of the front crossmember is wrong. I severed the curved portion from the bolt hole at the bottom of the long straight arm and welded it in so that the bolt holes matched the center of the cross member holes.

One edition recommended a '33/34 wishbone and it should have been a '32 wishbone! I sold a ton of those 33/34 bones to fellows holding the book. Newc

Are you aware that the hole spacing on the shock mount has at least two different demimions?

No! Two different dimensions for the F1? (Mine came from a '52.)

Are you sure about the F-1 mounts? The Mopar ones (which look similar, but have a flatten end) are different.
