Kilmartin Front Suspension Gussets

[HealeyPassion]

I received my Kilmartin front suspension gussets.

OK, that's nice, but there are 8 pieces and no pictures (or instructions) to help you place them. I was told, "Well, you just figure it out." OK. I found some high-level pics that Kilmartin has on their website, but they really show very little detail and are less than useful.

I have in fact placed them all where I think they should go. That said, it would be great to be able to get some reassurance that I've made the right choices.

So, has anyone installed the Kilmartin front gusset kit? If so, would you be so kind as to share pictures as to where you place them?

Thanks for any help.

Pictures?

Okay took a few pics. As I said, I "think" I have them in the right places.... albeit some will require a bit of forming for a better fit before welding, but I expected that. But sure would like to get some verification of the placement from someone that has already installed them.

They make a lot of sense to me as the Vredestein 185/70x15 tires will put considerably more stress on the front suspension mounting points than the original skinny bias ply's.

Very interesting. Thank you for the pix.

Well, after revisiting the placement... decided they were good. So, spent the afternoon doing more precise fitment and then tacked them in place. By the by, my vice, bench grinder and table belt sander were all put to good use to get the final fitment.

Added some pics... tack welded in place... not pretty .... yet... but you get the idea. This is the left (driver's side) the right side is a mirror image of these.
