Just curious, where do the tops of the front shocks mount on the Jaguar car?
|
At the inner fenders, which is part of the whole construction. These Jags have no apart chassis like our trucks do.

It's interesting that a British car has so many non-metric bolts.

I had a '67 Volvo Amazon once, all bolts were unc and unf...and that's from Sweden
The British don't have the Metric system... yet...they don't have the Euro neither
I also started with the wheelspacers out of airplain aluminium.
Pretty hard stuff, I must say!
This is what I started with:
After some turning and drilling I got to the point thjat I could testfit it on the wheelhub:
Fits pretty good, also in the wheel itself.
Now have to turn the inner holes at the right size, make holes for the countersunk wheelnuts and wheel studs.
I did draw the drill lines on the next one also:
I have to make these, because the tires are just not hitting the inner fender walls at the back, I want some more room to avoid future problems.
So few hours of work left, for me at home
Tomorrow I get a towbar from a Trailblazer I belief. Hope it fits the '59 chassis. I have to unmount it myself and then get it for free, I'm a happy man
