This one was of smaller scope.
While we were in there prepping the bay, and cutting on sheet metal, we decided it would be smart to make the bay obstructions removable.
A Sawz-All cut the bay brace, and a drill and chisel cut the e-brake bracket loose.
The Main Bay Brace required precision measurement and fabrication. These slip right in, and the brace is retained by the two forward suspension bolts.
While the e-brake bracket was of a slightly lighter construction, it required a stringer across the bay to give it more structure.
Steel Nutserts were put into the frame channel on both sides to retain things. It's plenty strong.
We chose to use the original ebrake bracket to reduce the amount of detail fabrication. All it really needed was a little more structure to hold it in vs. the force that will be applied by the lever and cable mechanism....
See for yourself. Sorry, the bay is still a little messy.
