Mustang II cross members

[river1]

There are some washers available, I get mine from old AMC cars in a salvage yard, anyway the are serrated on both sides, and fit between the A frame, and the crossmember. Once it is tightened up, it won't slip, you have to kind of pry things apart to move the A frame. You will find these washers under the fender to firewall braces, where they bolt to the fender.

i was thinkin i'd just run a weld bead on each side of the slots. i like the idea of the washers better.

thanks jim

    Are they like star lock washers?  

    Are large (enough) star lock washers available anywhere?  

    Might save a winter trip to the "parts yard".  Just a thought.  Thanks, Tom G.

They are a flat washer, with serrations on both sides.
