I've fitted 7"x15" Panasports to my '74 with no interference problems,
EXCEPT that the outboard upper A-arm bolt will remove any wheel
weight.
The solution I used (an idea from Roger Bolick) was to replace the
outboard upper A-arm bolts that are 1/4" shorter (dont forget they are
grade-8 and use nylocs), and to use tape-mounted weights. With this
setup, the next component of the suspension that could touch is the
upper horizontal lip of the trailing upper A-Arm; there is only 3/16" clearance
there. Its not structural, so you could easily grind 1/8" off.
Why do some cars touch and others not? Could it be a camber problem?
Or indicative of a prior accident?
