Subject:      Trans. Upgrade: Secure Front Shift Rod Bushing?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

I'm so close to buttoning up this transmission upgrade project. A
couple of questions please and thanks!

It seems the front bushing brackets should be OC in big hole on frame. True?

What's the best way to secure front plates and bushing to frame?
There's an upper hole, but it's a blind hole. It's a tight squeeze to
access behind frame for lower hole. (to sneak nut behind)

Thoughts on how best to fasten these parts would be appreciated.

Toggle bolt? Concrete anchor?

Large sheet metal screws?

Duct tape?   ;)

Neil.
