Thomas or Spooner, What is this mount for? uper control arm maybe? It looks very interesting. What are the pros of running a mount like this as opposed to your standard tabs?

yes, its the upper rear control arm. i got the idea for this T-bone adjuster from our semi truck ; (notice the mount on the panhard bar. its a almost bombproof design

)

the main force on the mount is pressure towards the frame. the rear camber can be adjusted with adding or removing washers.

I'd guess about eight hours or so. Fun place but a long way away.

Dumont is 10 hours for me, and I'd drive that far to dune with you guys.

Engine should be back in my car in about 2 weeks....
