Rear axle rebound buffers

[JP_Furble]

How are the rebound buffers for the rear axle (thin ones that mount to the top of the frame rails) positioned? Are they centered fore and aft, and side to side on the rail? I've got a Jule frame so must drill & tap these holes myself.

Thanks,
JPF

Nice photo, eh? Glad it helped. #251 and 253 shows how it sits under the axle case. https://picasaweb.google.com/110087349657726745747/57AustinHealey#5598929072082777490

Rich,

Thanks for posting those. I saw your album yesterday and remembered seeing that photo.

I have a jule frame also and used a lot of these. I got them at Ace Hardware and they are made of zinc coated steel in sizes from 1/4 to half inch. Getting the half inch to compress is tough. But they are holding on my front sway bar and other bits and pieces. I think the rubber pads under the axle are not under much stress so the smaller sizes will work fine.

Thanks for all the photos! Answered a problem I had with the pan hard rod. Seems the idiot that took the car apart installed the left bracket backwards...
