If you're worried I do have the body shop jigging dimensions so you could waste a bunch of time measuring so I'll look and see if its legible enough to send, OK?

Since I just discovered that a good portion of the DS rear fender is bondo, there is no reason to suspect my car is the least bit dimensionally correct...

Of course it was measured carefully. Move forwards a bit, somewhere around the front pulley. (We made it using a real 909 part as a sample).

Well here's some more stuff.
Front combined sump guard front mount/jack point/tow eyelet



Rear tow eyelet/jack point:


Alternator mounts in progress:


Alternator mounts in position on block:


Power steering pump mount:


All the stuff:


The alternator and PS pump mounts are to allow the use of the Cosworth 2wd intercooler in the original position, and to be plumbed in with the shortest possible connecting hoses. The 79-93 Saab 900 turbo radiator is used

Of course there are other things too and all of them are on the jvab.f4.ca or the rallyrace.net/journal pages

I used 20ga and it's a bit flimsy. If I had to again, I might think about something a bit thicker, or more correctly, I might cut the back half of another XR off, since it seems to have about the same compound curve to it as the front.

I found the December email and realized that it was the mid one. That was what I had thought.
Yeah I sold them to someone. Are the fronts still about $109 a pair. Anyhow, yeah, may as well replace them.

Sure. Are there different ones for wide vs. narrow tunnel cars? I don't know which I have but I'm an early 85 so probably narrow.

Okay. Here in about 2-3 weeks the second job is over with mostly and I start school so I'll have every evening after 5 off. We're deep into the search for shop space now too and may soon own the Tig and Mig from the Audi shop. Or I'm going to buy my own Tig if Brian wants too much for his. My car will be being parked there in a couple of days or next weekish for cage work to start.

What thickness steel should I patch the sunroof hole with. Going to buy it soon, maybe even this evening.

This thing is a MID support.
What happened to your tow/jack/side mounts?
You sell them to that Ian guy?
I had them make an extra set of fronts.

And yeah I can send the pieces to weld up the tranny crossmember.
Maybe I give you one and you weld me up 6-7??

The mopunts I'm out of but when I have a moment, I can carve up some more as I fillay came up with a repeatable method for the two cuts, probably send you the stuff to do that too.

It's so dependant on point of view Grant. Left, right, infront of rad, behind the rad, why get hung up on lables when all those things are just a point of view???
