Re: Kick plates/sills?

thanks everyone & please forgive the delayed response, but I am happy to say that the job was quite easy and underneath ..."NO RUST!!!!"...I think my car has been protected by clay that seems to be 50 years old and an inch thick :D

Re: gear box mounts/cage nuts & the dreaded removal of master

It seems I worded my question wrong..or you guys are misreading it..the problem is the CROSSMEMBER CAGE NUTS have already been removed and ONE wont go back in...my question is..can I possibly move the master cylinder without fully detaching it?
