[DeTomaso] Techno question: setting the engine brace bar properly

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Richard and Charlie,

               Ah-hah!   That sounds correct.   A little voice told me 
to check and despite having done it multiple times, the memory became 
fuzzy.  Thanks very much.


                             Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

  Dr. Chuck -  Someone who actually knows what they are talking about 
will hopefully chime in, but I thought that the procedure was the 
opposite. You needed to jack the car up to remove the weight from the 
suspension and tighten the lock. But I don't have such a fancy system so 
I've never done it myself - it's just what I think I remember.

   Dear Forum,

               After almost two years on the engine project, I am about
   ready for the Pantera's tires to touch the ground again.  IIRC, the
   proper tension on the engine brace bar(s) is done by loosening the
   brace bar and then lowering the Pantera onto the ground.  Then with 
the
   suspension loaded, the brace bar(s) are tightened down.  The brace
   bar(s) with the central adjusting tension nut are made gently snug.
   Then you're done.

              Is that correct?

                   Just checking,  Chuck Engles

   PS:  Bar(s) means exactly the big square steel brace with the central
   adjusting nut plus an accessory smaller brace mounted lower and 
behind
   the normal brace, just over the top of the ZF.  {full disclosure}
