X FLOW EDDY Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Do i have to have some weight on the back axle of my mk2 escort when i weld the brackits on for the bars or not? At the moment it is on its roll over jig with the axle dangleing down under its own weight if that makes any sence !!! Allthough i could jack it up a bit with my trolly jack tp simulate some weight on it.
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 The car must be at ride height before you weld them on . It needs to be resting on the floor mate
X FLOW EDDY Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Posted March 31, 2008 Bugger. Its a two man job to get the dam thing off my home made spit !! Looks like its time to " Dial a mate "
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Just weld the axle brackets on later when you've finished on the spit
V8ian Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Just a thought, possibly put the wheels on the car, with lowering blocks fittet and ratchet strap the axle down to ride height, it may need a bit of working out and checking to see if the axle is parrell and even between each side of the car, , but it may be do-able
