I donk know the name of this part.
I bought a new o ring and bushing kit. Hope it became a new part

nice to see your rebuilding everything possible, like your steering box, most people would just replace it

Yesterday a friend welded floor panels I made.

I think result is good enought to me.. not the best I know.. but under my limitations..

Now I will cut the remaining pieces and put them in place.

After this, we will close all weldings... close floor holes and paint it

Have almost all things new.. lets see if I will get any progress this weekend.

[alex_borges_br]

nice to have a visit from you (JP) in my thread!
I think you should keep your dart with charger front end. Triple black as it shoud be!

dartfastback is the guy I told you about the frontend.. he is doing some nice work in its car.. we will keep looking for a good charger front end for him.

J.P has some more girls pic with its charger.... I'm waiting for his email!

 

[dartfastback]

Thanks for keeping me in mind guys. My custom car deserves a custom (for Canada anyways) grill.What year grill of Canadian cars interests you?

 

[alex_borges_br]

Here in brazil some things are too much expensive... without any special reason.. just because are expensive...

for example.. upper bushings costs R$ 30,00 each (about 17 dollars).

As we need 4... 120,00 ... (about 68,00 dollars). Ok.. far enough.. but I building everything new.. If I make some economy.. I will have some extra money to future engine upgrade...

solution? yes.. brazilian Fiat Palio.. a compact car with front traction. this car uses only 1 upper bushing each side... moreover.. dart upper bushings do not make much effort...

Fisto mod... make bigger inner diameter.. I used my small bench drill.. I've made a test with a hand drill and works fine..

second.. inner metal tube is larger than outer tube.. cut it to make the same side...

You already have a functional cheaper bushing... But I have a problem.. I love to use washers.. I think they prevent premature parts wear (don't know if I used the right word), due metal friction.

As washers are 1,5mm each.. I have to cut more 3mm from bushings.. No problem... quiet easy (10 minutes work in each)..

well.. total cost at the end.... r$26,00... (about $14,00).. 4 bushings for less than 1.

ps: Yes.. I'm crazy and I do paint washers, nuts and so on...

Alex, like I've said in the past, your ingenuity is amazing.

 

[alex_borges_br]

hi ramenth.. thanks for your words. I enjoy a lot build my dart. Sometimes (as today) I get a bit destressed about problems I can't solve by myself.. but if life gives us lemons, we should make "caipirinhas" (caipirinhas is much better than lemonade)...
