Hi guys.
I bought the Jose kit and now I'm trying to fit the crossmember. I have a 65 SIV. Jose will be calling me at about 4:00, but in the meantime - my crossmember mounting pads have an angle on them that does not match up to crossmember supplied. Bend the mount plates on the crossmember?
I'm a little anxious to get this fitted up - wanting to see a little more progress on my project. I have cut the floorpan and before I weld it up I want to give the transmission and bellhousing a trial fit.
For reference, the bolts that fit to my mounting pads are metric 8 fine pitch.
Another question; are the bolts on the body metric/SAE or something else? Ace Hardware is going to get rich from me buying bolts trying to fit things up.
Thanks in advance;
