Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

This is what I came up with for a system to give me handy reference points as I start working to mate the Mustang metal into the 944's hiney. With the axle, linkage and mock shocks on and the lower arms at their 2* down angle - I welded in 2 of these reference bracket things. Now I can remove the axle but have the inner edges of the brackets to measure fore/aft and up/down location of the axle center line. And with the rear faces of these brackets I can clamp a level and know that I have the whole thing at the right "pitch".

I also added some gussets to stiffen up the areas that will see stress.
