lalojamesliz 56 Report post Posted June 25, 2021 I made some shock tower reinforcement plates and I'm about to weld them in after I prep the surface they go to but can I block these or does something need the holes? They aren't threaded so?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aslanefe 333 Report post Posted June 25, 2021 I do not know of anything that those holes are used for; they may be locating holes used during assembly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlife 814 Report post Posted June 26, 2021 Those sure look like upper arm mounting holes. Don't cover them up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They aren't threaded so?? Those look like the bolt holes use by the small block motor frame mounts, but I could be wrong. The photo is of the LH frame shock tower area of my 1970 Mustang Mach M code.

Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted June 27, 2021 Thank you. As you know this view is virtually impossible to see in a running BB car. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
