Those spots look good. I used this beast and it was tough (was wondering why I didn't use a step drill 😄) I did paint the bare metal in the holes. . Here is a picture of the motor installed This is a Spal heavy duty unit (not sure if these are still available) Been working great. Important that the window works smoothly first !

First picture looking done from top Second picture door side Thrid picture body side The boot was a straight section about 6" long. They came from Dave many years ago. The boots have been installed for 5 or 6 years, but only used heavily for this past summer. All seems good! I have power windows and power lock wires running through them.

Seppi I have done this project. I will post some pictures tomorrow. I followed a theard by Dave Irwin (zsonthebrain)? My car is a "72" I removed the doors to drill the holes. If you can find his thread he shows where to drill. Dave provided me with the rubber boots. Steve

Philip So glad to hear from you. Sorry for all your trouble's. So glad that your both doing well. And that your slowly getting back to the hobby. Keep up the good work. Steve

(kind of like the consistency of a dried-out hot-dog bun) That is exactly what I have. Thanks for the input.....now to get some bump stops.

The picture in my first post is the spring side of part #6 in Zed's post. @Patcon This is the rear strut, The front looks the same. The bearing at front and the spacer at back are there and in good shape. The insulators are also in good shape. But if there were bump stops, mine have perished and are missing in action😍 So my question is were there bump stops? Assuming there were what are the recomendations for replacements?

@Yarb I just cound't tell if was sand or rubber like.....maybe more sand. This came from under the top spring perch not above like the spacer and insulator. I was thinking more along the lines of a bump stop? Was there Bump stops? Thanks for the input.

Installing new shocks in my "72" (KYB) and am wondering what this is that came out of the top spring perch? See picture. Was this just caked in dirt or remants of something else? Thanks!

YES!! Glad to have you back :)

Thanks @Patcon I had not seen that before. It's on order. If heat is a problem maybe we can get a 2fer😃

I did not. Was going to wait and see if there was going to be a problem with the heat.

Sorry for the delay. The transmission is in, without to much drama. Installed my new Z Story exhaust (Street Sport Header) That went well. Thanks for the tips from @Patcon But now to the what was I thinking catagory☹️ Went to install my heat shield and it is not going to clear the new header. Should of new that from the start. So what are my options? No heat shield? If so what do you attach the return spprings to? Does anyone make a shield that will work? (running SU's) Any ideas would be welcomed. Patcon are you going to run SU's? If so do you have a plan? Thanks for the help. Stee
