looky what I found...

Post by v6spider »

After having a discussion on my rotisserie thread about mounting the rotisserie to the car decided I would do some surgery this evening on the rear in attempt to gain access to the inside of the rear frames rails. And low and behold here's what i found.
Take a look at the first shot, it shows before I cut off the stud...then take a look at the second....

lo and behold the early style slots are there...now I have a spot to mount to for the rotisserie...

Complete with bolt holes...

The front stud that was left was easily broken off with a bfh as they were both brazed on instead of welded.
I discover with careful examination the the front frame entrance is not hollow so no need to cut out the ends on the front. I will have to mount the rotisserie by the attaching where the cross-member does.
