Default Re: IN NEED of a MENTOR for ´68 SS/B Barracuda project

[QUOTE=Alex Polewik;617105]battery plate is 19x8

Thank you. Great...

Was this bracket cut off by Hurst, or never welded in place you think?

Secod pic.
If I put plate according to your pickture, plate will ride on the bump, and I have some half an inch gap between plate and floor at the front end.
Am I on the right track?

Thank you, and no hurry...

Well looks somthing might have happened here... Hope everything is allright...

Now, I would like to check if Chrysler actually used the 1968 B-body Dana 60 axle, or the slightly (11/16" something) shorter 1967 axle.
Can someone who have access to an original ´68 SS Hemi Dana 60 axle, check to see, if flang to flang is just longer than 60", or slightliy longer than 59", as the ´67 axle would be.

Likley the ´68 axle was used, but I quit taking things for granted long time ago, witch has helped me finding out a couple interesting details people usually dont talk or know about.

Like the alu. seat brackets. Did you know brackets were not drilled acording to blue print (Robert Tarozzi) found in Jim Schild´s SS Guide?
Hence not lining up with holes in production car floor pan...
What happened??
Well my take is, the Porsche Bucket seats has something to do with it...

I read recently that the '67 B-body Dana was used. The source appeared to be credible.

Thank you.
No offence, but I only go with first hand information.
Till I can have Mark J confirm this, it is a question mark in my book...
Thanks Stefan.
