Thanks Drewdog, not sure about enginnering at its best but its definitely some form of it haha.
 
More pics coming later on, about to go and have another crack.
 
Well as for upullit, the story goes like this. There was a 75 mk2 listed at elizabeth. I went there on monday, walked around for 20 mins then asked about it and aparently there was a mix up with the listing and they are going to try to sell the whole car. Not sure why it was listed as it wasnt even out for sale yet. So sorry about that JP.
 
Thats why I had to hunt down some mounts from another car. Wasnt very happy about driving all the way out there for nothing but at east they gave me a toyota badge for free...couldnt leave without anything.

no problems mate, I took a punt and went to Elisabeth today to no avail, its always fun to have a look around too, N11 pulsars have a similar shaped wheel well.
But I have a lead on a couple of options before I resort to slow nissan parts

Yea it is a lot of fun.
 
So I went out and built this bracket. I thought I did a pretty good job for a first try but because I rushed it, for some unknown reason, I used the exact measurements from the original one to drill the holes in the new one. That means the piece I welded on is in the wrong spot so I cant even drill new holes, got to start from scratch. Im pretty disappointed in myself but I can only smile and do it right tomorrow.
 
This is what I did anyway
 
Chopped up the bracket

 
Lined up a new piece of steel

 
Welded in place

 
Finished the welding and cleaned up all my mess

 
View from the inside. Pardon my messy welds

 
Nuts on

 
Finished Product. Or so I thought haha


 
I did end up with a really strong bracket though which is a good sign
 
Cheers
Ryan

Fixed the bracket today, sucked having to cut it up but got it sorted in the end.
 
Here are some pictures. The photos show when it was just tacked in place. It is now all welded up and strong
 




 
Cheers

I should put some photos up of the finished product. I had forgotten about this post.
 

 
Dont judge the welds. They dont look too good but do the job. These coupled with the Kmac swaybar gives me a touch over 4 deg castor

Also, built an anti dive kit. Not as planned, and it is heavy but like the swaybar mounts, it works.
 

 

 
Built it from some 1.6mm walled 25mm square tube I had lying around. Plenty strong enough.
 
Cheers,

Good work there Ryan, is that beast going to be ready for yank cruise??

Cheers

My variation as have the rack in pinion in a Mk1 Cortina,
 
Had a crossmember made to mount the radiator and intercooler together, which was not actually planned, but with a gussetted angled bracket, think i scored well on this.

It certainly will be, might be riding along with someone else on the day though.
 
BUZ440, that is a very well positioned crossmember!
