Got some buckets for 20 bux off of craigslist that fit perfect in the 69 Dart,but they sit a little too low. Needs to come up one inch in front and two inches in back,any suggestions? I dont have a welder,so I am looking for a spacer type of deal. I have heard of people using skateboard wheels,what do you think of that? |

Weld a couple of metal spacers to the mounting bracket. Richard |

Thanks for the tip,but if you read my post it states that I do not have a welder,and I also do not have any welding skills to boot. |

I have used shock mounts before, ie the mounting stud type things for rear shocks. I believe they were from a GM A body, as I have a Pontiac T-37 (Lemans/Tempest), and I had a couple spares. I have also seen used 1/2" "coupling nuts" used, as standoffs. They are about 1.5" long, just use a short bolt on either end. Mike |

I might also sugest some 1" and 2 " square tube, just cut to length and drill holes to fit. Also use fender washers to help spread the load out on the floor pan, so they won't pull through. |

Richard no worries at all! I wish I did have a welder/welding skills cause that would solve a lot of my problems

Richard, how does Tyrd-Brown run? It looks fascinating. Sam |

The Ford is slant powered with a Offy/4 barrel, the other is the motor in the 63 Dart. Both cars have old paint (look like crap), the Fords best is 15.3's and the Darts best is 14.9's in the 1/4.Sam Ceej and I are friends and both of us make up Tyrde-Browne racing. Richard |
