Would have to look at the cant rail to make sure an upper anchorage cant be fitted or was never fitted factory- a lot of cars of that era had anchorages in there as an option. Are the lower anchorages factory? Or have you fitted them? The lower anchorages I believe are not factory. I fitted them as car came with none. the seatbelts come out of the bronze's 63 galaxie but his had the factory mounting points. but mine already had some holes there so I just used those holes and bought the correct plates and bolts to suit it.

cletus Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Unfortunately you will need a cert for the belt anchorages in that case, and, either a b pillar exemption, or fit upper anchorages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Chassis repair looks good, I doubt that its a problem heating and bending that steel. Looks like a lot of work to lift the body up like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Matt from his own shop Tin tricks. I only found out about why Tony went away after I had the work done, Had I known before hand I wouldn’t have used him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I've got a factory service manual here if you need anything from that. My experience in getting computer alignment setups to work on the Mercury was a bit similar - clamps don't fit inside arches, can't roll it forwards and back enough, etc etc. The printer did work OK though. Bring back string/tape measure/spirit levels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back string/tape measure/spirit levels! Cheers will keep in mind if I need something Yeah hard thing is finding anyone with spec's or someone who understands suspension and steering geometry. As everyone now just gets taught if it's in the green it's good. also trying to push these tanks also doesn't help haha yeah I'm glad it didn't say on the printout too that it's custom specs as then the engineer will question it as edited it to suit within spec haha. still have to use a measure tape every now and again for when issues are still present after alignments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
