A vise and a perfect sized socket (if needed to center).

Put the bushing in the freezer for a while and heat the spring eyelet up with torch. Should make the installation a little easier. Then you can "press" it in with your bench vice if you wanted. Just don't burn your self on the hot spring.

Looks as if you will need to, that or you will spend forever trying to fine one that will work for that specific application. You could run to the local parts house and see what they have on hand.

That ranks right up there on the stupid-o-meter! Did you call Moser and ask HTF you're supposed to bolt to that?

That's good news, the CA stuff is somewhat expensive, but at least they have good cust service to go with it. Now, if they could just price their stuff like John and Shaun do :toot

Re: '66FB GT Upgrade Build-Up
okay, got the t-bolts and ready to put the SSBC rear disc brakes on. i think i'm being anal/paranoid, but what do you all think of this shot. if i tighten the t-bolts anymore the c-clip will bend. maybe the housing is too short or the axles are too long or is this normal?? there's an o-ring behind the black brake brackets, then the c-clip is last.

Re: '66FB GT Upgrade Build-Up
I dont think the axle tube flange is perfectly straight. IS there enough threads on the T bolt for the nylon lock nuts to grab?

Re: '66FB GT Upgrade Build-Up
Great build thread. You mentioned that the POR-15 was a PIA, I might have to be looking into some of these rust encapsulator options you mentioned at the beginning of your thread. Could you elaborate a little more on your experience with it and also as to how it's holding up?
Thanks
Keep up the good work

Re: '66FB GT Upgrade Build-Up
i haven't tested the POR15 on the road yet... should be soon. one experience, i was drilling the gauge wiring hole or whatever in the trunk floor and the POR15 peeled off at the edge. on new metal, it won't stick on as well. POR15 grabs onto pitted metal. and, i would of liked getting a gray topcoat, so i know where i'm painting over. black on black is a pain.
EDIT: also, brushes have to be thrown away after each use. i didn't buy their thinner. thanx for reading.

Re: '66FB GT Upgrade Build-Up
gimme your thoughts?? looks like the shock tower is savable...
1. thinking of not cutting out anything on the shock tower and adding a patch (marked in red).
2. for the frame, maybe do the same or patch the whole area.
3. for the front side apron, fill the gaps with scrap sheet metal and weld.
4. where the bumper brackets are, thinking of cutting out the rot and adding patch.
