S4 restore Left over parts identification

PostPost by: holywood3645 » Sat Dec 08, 2012 8:49 pm

While cleaning up my garage to make way for a new project and came across these parts in a bag. They are from the strip down on the S4 dhc prior to restore. I cannot remember where they came from and am hoping someone here may recognize. The second picture has spacers that are 5/8 dia and 1/2" long they were (as you see in the picture) used with the bolts washer and nuts. I found 2

The first picture is a 1 inch x 5/16 spacer with a rounded machined insert face (I have 2) The rear side is flat the hole dia is 7/16"

Input is always appreciated.

I'm thinking they're the gearbox mounts; gearbox to crossmember.

I found a couple of other parts that also look important. Added pictures to the orginal post.

Greg, which part on the attached diagram do you think the spaces may be?

Thanks

Im guessing here. Those course thread bolts look like some I saw in a nose area. There were spacers between where the rack sits and the fiber moulding. I think the bolts went thru and nuts were used to fix some electric hooters in place

The other parst? Just another guess. could they be out of a steering rack? think theres something like them that the tie rods swivels on.

1. Steering rack ends
2. Spacers for horns and bolts for the front body mounting

They're not shown in the parts manual page you show; nor on Ray's site' nor the manual I have. My crossmember, #13, does not have that box section on top with the unmarked bolts. Instead, I have a crossmember that bolts to the mount via #11 and a spacer sits in the bolt between the crossmember and mount.

I have a '72 Sprint, late '71 build.

I think AHMs #2 is the right answer.

I'm sure this is how I saw those spacers. between rack mount and body.
