Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...

Been trying to finish up the 4-link. I get an hour here, an hour there these days. I was able to tac three of the four housing brackets with the rear in place/centered/at ride height. But the last one is lapping on to the housing because it's so far off-center (the housing). So I decided it would be much easier to do that one out on stands since it involves trimming/fitting etc. I realize that welding on the cast pumpkin is not ideal, but I have achieved good results in the past by gringing the area clean and pre-heating it prior to welding. As can be seen in the pics below the left bracket will be welded to the tube and the housing. I will then add gussets on the tube side.
