I purchased a set of Goodpart's adjustable trailing arm brackets and will be installing them soon. Unfortunately I have misplaced the instructions provided with the brackets. Anyone have a copy they can email or photocopy for me?
 
Word to the wise 71tr-

As long as you are going to all that TA trouble,
while you have the car up in the air, check the
passenger's side front differential mount for
cracks or maybe it's even snapped off.

With the trailing arms off, it's really easy to
get access to the diff mounts. I replaced my TA bushings
and new Diff mounts all in two days on a rental lift,
with the help of 2 mechanics!.

Yes, the Crypt Car ran a few miles once upon a much
heavier wallet time............

Tinster,
Thanks for the advice but I'm way ahead of you. This has been a frame off restore. My passenger side front diff mount had been repaired long ago, poorly. So I took the whole frame to a welding shop and had the mounts fully boxed, reinforcing plates installed on top of all mounts and even had the front suspension mounts bracketed to the steering rack. When I originally bought the car I was concerned as to what I might find lurking beneath. Now I'm proud of my frame and have every confidence in it.
 
Good Show 71tr !!

Keep at it and post some photos of the bare,
naked frame if have any. They would be of great interest to many of us.
