CMC front support bracket. | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Regarding the front support bracket, my CMC body is attached, but the support bracket has not been attached yet. I tried to attach the bottom support but do not have enough clearance, it hits the body without the top support bracket on yet. Do I have to lift the body to attach that piece? I removed the bolts from the frame and may try and lift it. I have a manual (page V5) but not sure if the bottom support holes sit on top of the two posts or go thru. It appears they sit on top. I see the sleeves go thru the two bolts. I am working on the butt sag now too. Thanks in advance.

With the body on you may have to "adjust" what you have i.e. going over the beam instead of on top and cut the upper to fit, probably easier to weld it in place. Alan
