This is what I came up with, as the cost plus shipping(shocking) to Canada was prohibitive. After extensive searches on this site. Credit goes to all the other folks on this site who inspired my setup. Its a pipe hangar from industrial pipe/valve supplier. 3/4" threaded rod, bent flat bar, beveled washer on top against the frame. lots of grease between top nut, washer and beveled washer. Cost was around $37 CDN. they were very kind to me. Locked the lower nut in position with a cotter key. chunk of rubber hose on the bottom bolt so as not to scar the support arm. only lifted it up high enough to release pressure. Replaced my lower A arm this way.

Will check them out, thank you

Has anyone replaced the tack strip in a 2 door hardtop? If so what did you use? A piece is broken off the bottom & it seems to brittle to drill and secure. I mean the ones in the rear compartment. rear edge of the doors

hope these help you.

I love that area……. The harbor bridge, the opera house. Never been there for new years though

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

HPH, the distributor is 1110865 Delco Remy, Utica # for the engine will have to wait till next year, as the engine is in storage.

my early production Executive #128 has the Delco generator & distributor, an Autolite starter and the Rochester carburetor. Also an export. The trunk lining was also of the 55 style
