Well i gues the mounting inserts are a thing of the past. I could not get them.
so Ill have to improvise once again.
the task is to mount the ram cyl anchor bracket to the bottom side of the frame just under the steering gearbox. here is what i did to make it work.

this is the mount and the bolts and the nuts i am going to weld into place after i open up the hex hole in the frame just a bit. Ill juse a die grinder to open up the hole.





hex hole is now a round hole.



a nice tight fit is good.



tack it in place with a mig welder.



and bam! a threaded insert.! after a little clean up.



now do the second hole like the first one.



and mount the bracket.

.


then it was on to cleaning up the engine bay, some slovent, a brush, rag and paint.

before...




after..

.

still working on the tie rod end, maybe next weekend ill get it all back together for the final assembly.
