D25:Spindles and Engine Mount Supports



I've got the supports for the engine mounts in. From here I can get the engine fit for, hopefully, the last time. Since the engine sits at an angle, I want to make sure it doesn't make contact with the bars on top that the rear uprights attach to. It shouldn't... but wouldn't be the first time my measurements were off. I've also stripped the front spindles in preparation for the modifications needed to convert them from using struts to an upper control arm. I'm still finalizing my design for that change over. I'm also doing a fair amount of research into a-arm design, materials, etc. Once I make sure the engine still fits, a-arms will be the next project.
