After all dimensions verify, tighten frame to
the body mounts with the alignment pins
installed. Verify your measurements after
tightening.
In some cases, you may have to shim the
subframe to get the front-end radiator core
support to attach. You can put shims
between the floor and the urethane to raise
the frame in the front. Or, you can put
shims between the frame and the urethane
core support mounts. You can also shim
the firewall body mounts to lower the frame
at the core support. Some vehicles come
from the factory with shims. If your vehicle
has shims, it is probably best to reuse
them.
If your core support will not line up after
you have the clip aligned and attached to
the body, then you need to reinstall the
front sheet metal. Remember, these cars
are over 30 years old so there is no telling
what your car has been through.
Sometimes you can get the core support to
fit by simply loosening all its bolts and
pushing it around and then retightening it.
Retorque all body mounts after 1000
miles of use.
Reinstall the parking brake cable into the
Chassisworks frame using the stock spring
clip.
