Broken Bolt FYI

[Silverback51]

The early SPF cars had an issue with the rear end housing being mounted to low in the frame. This caused the band on the inner drivers side CV boot to hit the frame and rip off.

I pulled the bracket off and had a friend plug weld the existing holes, and then I machined new ones .50 inches higher. This results in a slight tilt to the rear end housing, but it has not caused any problems to date. And I now have .25+ inches clearance between the frame and the band on the CV boot.

While I had it off, I figured I would take a picture of it in case I needed it for future reference.

That is the bracket. I will try to take some pictures in place.

I purchased longer bolts hoping to keep the threads out further from the frame mount.

Might be easier to have less HP!
