This picture shows where the original headlight bracket was cut and a short bracket welded to it. This was necessary because the new upper control arm was in the way. The original bracket was bolted to the outside of the frame. |

This was the location of the cut of the fender/light brace. |
|
The running board supports start out as 1"X1" square tubing. They fit in the slots under the running boards snugly. You would think Ramrod new I was going to use these tubes. Way to go Dave. ( as in Teale) |

 |
One
of the brackets required dropping, being bolted both on the side of
the frame and bottom for a good support. |
|
As you can see the cantilevered pivots worked well . This hides the ugly pedals that stick out the fire walls and possibly are obstructed by a motor or steering . This leaves a clean look. |
 |
 |
These pivots start out as flat 3/8" stock . Steering knuckles from lawn mowers are used .The knuckles are held with 3/8" bolts into threaded holes and held with nylock nuts. |
| For the pivot hole, I found a 1-1/4 inch OD tube and matching bronze bearing. A grease nipple was added for extra lubrication . Most of this hardware was obtained at the local T.S.C. store including all my stainless hardware. |
