Default i,ve made a doodoo

i was getting a bit carried away and welded the steerering rack plates on before tacking the suspension mounts on is there a way round it to fit them with the jig?

have you fully welded the steering rack supports in? if not then i,d suggest taking them off, the suspension mounts are quite tricky to place but as its the lower brackets that you might struggle with you "might" be able to move the braces in the jig inwards to miss the rack supports, Maybe????

Dont shout at me but i didnt use jigs for my brackets just 12mm studding with nuts g cramps and lots (and i mean lots) of dimension checking
inmo the lower fronts are quite easy to set up, its the uppers that most people have been having probs with.
so you could set up the front lowers without the jig if you like.
