7.0 MOCK UP

7.1 NOTCH
Mark the width of the shock bolt area
of the bracket on the upper control
arm mount. Using these marks as a
guide, cut out a notch so that the
shock bracket butts up flush against
the side of the control arm mount.
Below is what you should end up
with.
7.2 FITTING
The end result for all years should
have the bracket sitting flush
against the upper control arm
mount.
Note: because of
differences in years and factory
tolerances, some slight trimming of
the bracket may be required to
custom fit it to your specific frame.
Do not proceed to welding at this
time.
7.3 LOWER
Do not skip this step. Mock up the
lower control arm and coilover shock
assembly to make sure the upper
Chicane mount is located in the
correct location. This also ensures
that all shock components clear the
frame. To allow you to work with both
hands and keep everything in place,
support the lower control arm and
shock assembly.
