Front T-bar reinforcement bracket source?
 

I can't re-use the brackets that go on top of the t-bar mounts between the pan and the tank support. Anybody know where to get them?

Rick-
I looked in the PET and I think I found the part number. It is in the SC edition (I don't have it for the Carrera), but it likely did not change for the Carrera. I'll email you the PDF. I searched the part number on Pelican and it showed as a special order item.

thanks Jon!

Chris,
have you checked with Parts Heaven or SilverStar Recycling?

Good idea tc, I'll call PH tomorrow. Pelican is charging $98 :eek: seriously, it's a piece of sheet metal. The sad part is that it probably comes from Restoration Design, where I just got my pan from, and I'll have to wait another month to get the parts again.

No ideas on how to answer your question,

But your avatar is just so distracting I have to keep reading the thread anyway.

:D :D

Did you guys come up with the part number for this piece? I'm going to need to do this job soon...

Thanks for the help.

I got a set a few months back... when I did my suspension pan.

They were only $16-$20 I dont remember but this should be the right
part# 901-501-427-21-GRV


Hope that helps.

Interesting, the part number for my '87 shows up as 901-501-409-23 GRV, which Pelican sells for $98. I wonder how different the older units are?

Kaefer, I have the PET's for just about all years, I can look up yours if you need it. Also, I'm trying to keep a pictorial record of this job to post when I'm done. So far, it hasn't been very bad at all. I was going to try to get away with leaving the A-arms attached, but they prevent a clean cut across the pan where the old one comes out, and welding around them will be difficult.

Steve - you're welcome :)

Kaefer, the part numbers for each of your cars are as follows:

'71T : 901 501 409 21 (L)
901 501 410 21 (R)

'80SC: 901 501 409 23 (L)
901 501 410 23 (R)

'85 Carrera: 901 501 409 23 (L)
901 501 410 23 (R)

Thanks Zonas!

That pictorial of the job is going to come in handy. Unfortunately I'll I need to replace the pan on one of my cars this winter. Ugh.

Rick,

If were talking about what I think were talking about :) that part # I gave you works for both sides... It just gets fliped

Check your PM for a link... I dont want to post a Non pelican link for obvious reasons SmileWavy

Oh and that part works from 65-89.

Thanks Herman, got it.

Better order the parts from RD now then. :)

It's a one-man show, and he can be a little forgetful. Be patient, it's worth the wait. His parts are the best. Pelican sez they still can't find a suitable replacement for him.

Stoddard lists one part for both sides 901-501-427-21-grv. The part was very high quality ?oem and cost me $16.30 in may 2005. Hope this helps. Paul.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I found the parts for $10 each at a local place. Let's just say it was "Heaven". Also found some heavenly headers. :)
