well i hoped to get my mechanic out to finish the mechanicals b4 end of month, yeh right. Water pump started playing up on weekend, needed a new pressure tank for pump, and safty pressure switch for water heater, all up $350, could of spent that on the beddy. No pump no shower, being on acerage we are on tank water so had to fix it now. oh well.

measured the difference between early model wishbones and later model wishbone..

turns out the early ones are 3.2mm thick the later are 4.2mm thick.. wow 25% thicker!!!!!!!

keep this in mind people with early vans and v8's in them!! thin wishbones!!

74' is when cfs became late model by the way..

good work ben, but by wishbones are you meaning lower control arms, or upper control arms?
