Hi Folks,

Well, I have reached a true turning point in the restoration of old CC51639, a
1970 TR6. I have gotten the frame back from having new trailing arm members,
front suspension gussets and differential mount gussets welded on. I have
finished painting the whole thing in POR 15 (great stuff by the way) and will
be coating the inside of the frame with Waxoyl. I CAN START PUTTING THIS THING
BACK TOGETHER! The number of parts sitting around my basement will never be
any bigger. It will all start going back on the frame. YEAAAA!!! Can you tell
I am just a bit excited.

Anyway, what I am really writting about is the orientation of the upper A arm
pieces. There is one that is more curved than the other. I am pretty sure that
that piece goes toward the front of the car. I have checked all the books and
catalogues I have and all of the illustrations are not diffinitive about this.
Can somebody confirm this for me before I put this thing together backwards?

Thanks Again,

Dan H. Detweiler
