Re-install of rocker hangers on an AO Smith C2

[Gary C.]

Hi,
Would anyone know the exact measurements to re-install the rocker panel hangers on a C2 AO Smith birdcage?
The AIM shows them but the are no dimensions.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,

I used the original rocker moulding as a template. This way I was able to just tack weld the brackets in place and then test fit as I went. Once all of the brackets were in place and I was happy with the fit, I went back and finished welding. Obviously, the brackets were originally spot welded but once the body is installed it would be very difficult to detect.

So, break loose from Perth and go to the horsies mouth in Sydney... If memory serves Murray and Wendy Forman have a pair of mid-years in their garage and he IS your chapter's 'fearless leader', eh?

Its a long way from Perth to Sydney Jack.
Anyway Ian measured his 66 as below.
Now would this be the same on a 65?

I am thinking about doing my L78.

Cheers,
Gary
