easy one for someone with a K&L front end lying around
amazeer - March 17th, 2009 at 07:06 PM

I'm turning my engine stand into a front end stand. can someone give me a few dimensions?

the distance between centres of the upper and lower torsion bar tubes.
the bolt hole spacings top to bottom and left to right.
Are the bolts M12?

Silly question,but can't you lay down and measure the bolt centres on the front end?

That would be real easy. If I had one on hand. Sadly my car doesnt live with me.

thanks daimo. good to see that one in 3 people are here to help.

ummm daimo, I think you need a new tape measure. I went and got the front end out of the oval today, came home to bolt it up and...... 190mm is quite a bit narrow.

Its 290mm same for Link Pin as Balljoint

umm yeah............it was late when i got under my car and it would appear i was looking at the 10 inch mark (with the 90mm past that)..........as much as i thought about telling you the wrong measurements just to shit you after your dig at me on the supersprint........ i was confident i had it right........I do apologize........how embarrasing :blush:

i suck
