I got the upper control arm mounts for the double wishbone conversion into position today. I need to convert my welder back over to MIG to weld them in but otherwise they are done.
Started by marking out the position of the boxes, drilling a hole at each corner and then using a combination of angle grinder and dremel to cut them out.
Welded the nuts onto the lower side to make adjustments easier.
Here is the view from inside the engine bay. You can see I had to trim a bit of metal above the bolts so I can get them in and out.
Final photo for today showing the RX8 knuckle relative to the control arm mounts.
So I've just got remove the paint around the areas I need to weld and then weld them in. All this has to be repeated on the passenger side but I need to spin the whole shell around to do that so I'm just doing this side for now.
