Well gee Dave, I'm assuming from your description & stop watch times, that
despite some rash, earlier thoughts, if I recall correctly, to the contrary,
you must have come to your senses and gone for Option #2, i.e., the cheap,
easy way out, aka a "Pizzo's Saturday Nite Special" date (hereafter a PSNS),
and NOT tried Option #1, drill & tap 2nd "keeper" bolt holes into both lower
control arms :-)
Yeah, sure it stuff looks easy, ..... once its been done, :-) It's the
figuring it out and then setting it up so it will be easy that takes time.
FWIW, thanks is also owed the Don, Frank, who had a disassembled "spare" 92
rear suspension, he kindly made available to do the R&D that resulted in the
design of the adapter plates, the machinist who came up with a solution to
the 2nd lower control arm bolt; and Mark Hunter who, despite the adapter
being a "non-OEM" and, at the time unwaxed, part boldly strode where none
had walked before and volunteered as a guinea pig for one of the original
three test kits.
Anyway, I look forward to your SOP report once you have the car on the road.
As Jonathan Swift's Gulliver puts it, "D'ya think you'll be a Big, or a
Little Endian, a "primitive" or sophisticate?"
