[DeTomaso] converting to factory ZF side mounts

[Julian Kift]

Larry,


If opting for an upgrade consider the later removable tabs that the factory used on 9000 series cars, it make for a much easier removal of the ZF.  The parts you require are relatively easy to fabricate IMO.

Mike,

Thanks for the quick reply, but….

The factory chassis brackets are …far… from  just “two flat pieces of steel”. Did you study my photos?

And of course they are multiple pieces that were then welded to the larger chassis components, and would need to be removed by drilling out the spot welds.

Long shot, to be sure, but it never hurts to ask.

Anyone?

Larry
