Im going to get a second opinion on welding this thing in there.

not quite the point of no return but definitely staring at it. This is just a stamped piece of steal to align the ubolts.

clamped a piece of flat bar to the original perch to get the angle. the idea is to weld the new on parallel, gotta love digital levels.

I can't believe I found the springs. You can see based on the eye on the left they have a lot less arc.

Starting to strip stuff off, not quite the point of no return but you sure can see it from here.

I don't think that goes there.

Uh I got the wrong size shocks :(. They are about 3 inches too short. No matter this will all be different.

Side shot to remind me what it looked like when it was all together. you can sort of see the rake.
