^Thanks dude.
Got some goods in the mail today/an order showed up at work. Since the new wheels won't need spacers/adapters (aside from a 10mm in the rear) I decided to get new studs, since I've always liked some stud poke through the wheel nuts. Also got a Moroso ....thingy... to put in the rad hose since I won't be able to run my G6 overflow jug anymore.
And what I've been waiting for anxiously, my camber plates. I bought "universal" ones off of Ebay, they were cheap and I thought for the price I can just toss them if they're junk. To my surprise they're actually quite nice.
They come blank, so you have to drill your own holes. The plates on these is about the same diameter as the bolt circle for the stock mount, so you can't use the 3 stock holes. I decided to slide it in slightly and utilize the stock two inner holes, so I can still use my strut bar. I then decided to drill an added two holes on the outer side, then drilled and tapped all 4 holes to m8x1.25, same thread as stock.
Grabbed some temp bolts, and installed them, the bolts on both the adjusters and the plates themselves will be replaced with button head hex bolts.
I drilled one, then bolted them together to make a mirrored pattern for the other side. Worked quite well.
The plate installed -
Apparently I forgot to take pics of the whole thing assembled and in, but they are, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow, I guess.
The "factory" 3rd hole on the strut tower will be welded and smoothed, so don't start hating on that.
Mookeh universal camber plates?
how much were the plates??
^^Got damn companies charging out the ass for shipping, fukkin upcharging.
Side note, lovin the progress!

Well, finally got the engine mount bracket figured out, and made. I would pay good money to see Michigan try to destroy this thing again. I still need to have the bottom two holes straight bored, and will have to run flush mounted grade 8 hex bolts in them, just due to them being super close to the frame rail.
Forgot my camera at home last night, so I just brought the mount home... pics on the car soon, promise.
I wouldn't mind having some pattern milled into the center section, but I'm not real worried about it right now.
This means the engine is finally 100% level and supported to the car.
Time to start making other @!#$ fit. Le SIGH.
Holy snap that's beefy!

Lol, yup, I've already snapped one in half, so I figured I'd build this one to last.
Nice man! Great fabrication work
remember if you make on part stronger another will fail. just make sure the weaker part is not the costly part. i do like the fab skills.

Haha, you are definitely hitting the nail on the head there, that is kinda the premise the whole car has been built off of. Keep making things stronger and fixing the next thing that breaks.
And as far as the laptop screen - it doesn't work anyways, I have a monitor plugged into it hahaha
The army called, they want their tank's engine mount back.
