Trial fitting the rear subframe

After welding in the new OS rear subframe mount last week I was finally ready to trial fit the subframe.

I was quite aprehensive about this, because even though I'd taken lots of measurements and made a jig, there was no 100% guarantee that things would line up given the amount of metal that had been replaced.

We jacked the subframe into position and after much levering and cursing, it all went in no problem!

The holes all line up perfectly thankfully.

Trial fit

Instead of re-using the old trunnions, we also fitted billet alloy trunnions from www.dsnclassics.co.uk.
