went for a drive in mates 69 L71,427/435hp vette today,after doing a bit of welding on it for him.he was having a bit of trouble when turning full lock.the tyres were rubbing inner gaurds.found out that a piece of angle welded to lower wishbones both sides, that acts as a stop for the steering arm was badly worn away.
im a pressure vessel welder by trade so i got the job.pad welded em up and all is sweet.i mentioned to him that they didnt look like a stock item.very rough welding,different from left to right, but other mate gus with an 80 vette also has same brackets,also terrible welding.so if you are having trouble with tyres rubbing inner gaurds,break out the welder.
we had a beer,a chat and an ohhhhhh baby blast around the block.
