that would involve me doing MORE work like that's going to happen haha.
Took a 3 5/8" hole saw to one of the spring perches yesterday evening, and it left a nice outline to where I have to cut out the "new" perch, and yes, it's all concentric everything should line up nice as pie (idk if pie's very concentric or not, but you get the idea lol)
BUT for now, I think I'll install the lowering springs and leave this job for summer when I can be outside making all this noise, not in a storage basement above a bunch of apartments lol.-Jack

scored a 2.5" cat converter
also will be converting all my rubber fuel lines to AN lines, including the ones @ the sending unit. Why? Because I hate rubber lines lol.
So I will be drilling out the two lines @ the sending unit and replacing them with bulkhead AN fittings, then will be getting some hard line adapters to connect everything together...this is the basic idea

It's cheaper to get stainless hardline and then get the AN adapters to join onto the stainless when you're doing long runs (underside of the car, across the engine bay, etc). Plus it holds up to the salty weather we get and looks pimp.I peered out from the castle window and looked over the splendor of ROTM county. Yes, twas' a much simpler time back then. Peasants would go about their postings, and I, the mod, would rule over them with an iron fist.

i'll re-phrase my above statment........... Any aluminum AN fittings are garbage. Stainless( a whole new world )
the price they charge for such simple pieces is out of this world.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

FE3-323 take this! Ka-pow!
Seriously though AN is the best way to plumb use teflon paste on the pipe thread adapters and use Fitting Assembly Lube on the AN's and your golden. Also use Earl's, Russel, Aeroquip or even MR.Gasket shadow series and not E-bay Taiwanese garbage. I personally love push-lock, good for 250 psi no clamps, no flash and no leaks. Simply push the hose on the fitting and your done.
