Andrew, earlier in the thread you mentioned that torquing down the engine and trans bolts was a PITA. Any insights, recommendations, or tools that might have made it easier?
|
The motor mount to frame nut is a pain to get to and to get tight. Get one of these ratcheting flex wrenches. They make the job a piece of cake.

Looking good Andrew.
Have you leathered the dash panel yet?
Cheers,
Glen
edit: just looked back to post#43, and of course, yes, it was done by ERA

Hi Glen,
Yeah, ERA did it.
Note: I have since swapped the tach and speedo into the correct positions  |

I used riv-nuts on the backside thus you can screw directly into them.
A little epoxy on back of dash to nut works

One I got from a NOS parts store in BFE Texas for next to nothing because they didn't know if it worked and didn't feel like checking. The other came from EBay. |
