Measuring the trunk and scaling from there is my Plan B
Fusion 360 sounds good.

"If those images that you posted are accurate as far as shape but scaled down, you only need one measurement from an original set of boards, from any point to another. Then you just scale it until the measurements match up with the…"
Trunk Cardboard Reolacement
G'Day AllI am restoring the trunk of my 63 Series 62 Convertible.

Or if somebody has a set they can photograph and then put the dimensions on it would be the same.Any help or…See More

1) $40 from my regular shipper with tracking, 4 to 6 weeks.
2) $47.40 via Canada Post, approximately 3 to 4 weeks, no tracking
3) $66 via Canada Post, approximately 2 weeks with tracking.
I prefer PayPal as a payment method if that works for you. Failing that, we can work out alternatives such as e-transfers etc.
Best regards,
Dan

Lower Front End Ball Joints
Posted by Logan Robb on May 11, 2023 at 9:04am 7 Comments 0 Likes
Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
