WildBlue goes RideTech

[Quickboat]

More progress tonight. The axle is in and fairly well centered under the car. I still am struggling to find someone to weld the tabs on the axle. I got one of the new brake lines bent and installed, stuck the wheels on the axle, and goofed with getting the axle centered. I'll get the tape measure out Saturday and get it centered side to side and front to back as best I can. Once I got the wheels mounted I was able to jack the axle up under the car (it's up in the air on jack stands). It looks like the wheels are a near perfect fit. The last road blocks I've got to over come are finding a new location for the fuel pump and filter and fitting the tabs to the axle. I found out tonight that the tabs are about 1/4" off from being the right height. I'm not sure why the variance is so large unless the tabs are supposed to be one size fits all. I'll hopefully get them mocked properly and trimmed to fit (or I should say ground down to fit) Thursday night. I'm nearly there and would probably be done tonight if I knew how to weld.

Geoff, what do you mean the brackets were a 1/4 inch off? They go on at and angle remember. Did not ridetech provide a fixture to weld on the upper brackets? p/n 70010694, I did not get one either but will call about it today.
