Project Munin/68 Dart
Ok.. With the diff set back where I want it now I turn my focus to the watts support. The watts support and links will limit the diffs side to side movement under the car to an exacting degree. The kit itself calls for a weld in watts support but given the fact I run a dana 60 I'm going to fabricate it into a bolt in and out deal. I don't want to work around the watts support when I need to get into my rear end for rebuilds/gear changes... This is just a quick and dirty mock up after I figured out my inside to inside rail distance and welded the brackets on. After I get a fixed position on the watts support I will go ahead and order the new fuel tank. The watts support does interfere with the stock gas tank location. I plan on cutting out the spare tire carrier area and utilizing the entire area frame rail to rail for the gas tank. 30 gallons plus would be nice!
