Update on my front suspension setback...the lower control arms that came with my kit were not meant to be used with a stock Pinto crossmember. I was crystal clear when I called to inquire about a font suspension kit that I was using a stock Pinto platform, yet the recommended the kit that I purchased. It was a $200 upgrade to the kit I originally had selected and the selling point was that the tubular arms were better than the stamped steel arms, and best of all, they eliminated the need for strut rods, providing more clearance for a header. I felt it was worth the extra $200 so that's what I got. After calling Speedway on Monday, I have a set of tubular, but stock mount lower control arms coming and should be delivered tomorrow. That will solve my problem but is costing me more $$$, engineering and work. The first step for installing the original arms was to drill out the 1/2 mounting hole to 5/8. You guessed it...the arms I now have to use use 1/2 bolts. Now I have to close the holes so I can use the 1/2" bolts. I have a plan that includes using 7/16 Grade 8 flat washers (opened up to 1/2"), welded to a 5/8 OD x 1/2 ID sleeve. The sleeve fits nicely in my enlarged mounting hole and the washer will be welded to the outside of the crossmember where the mounting bolt goes through. I will send pics after I do the work that will better explain. I have layed awake the last three nights trying to come up with a good way to return the mounting holes to 1/2" and came up with this plan. I will do it on Saturday and am confident it will work. My next challenge is that I don't see the mounting tab for the sway bar on the control arm. I have reached out to Speedway to see if they sell a bracket that I can weld to the arm. I'm pretty sure they do. I don't know why it wouldn't be included if these are supposed to be tubular, stock replacement arms. I'll find out soon enough...
