I came across this pic and had to post it. Maybe others see some ideas. A flanged spacer for inner suspension mounts.

Ralphy - THAT is a clever find!
Sure would beat welding to the cast C3 diff wouldn't it.
Like those LCA/UCA mounting points - not a fan of single sheer,.
But looks like there might be a web/link on the uppers forward tying the two together.

Who says it has to be single sheer? Get that fake quick change cover out of the way. Then link the left and right inner's together. I also see he raised the LCA's and ran them parallel to the HS like I mentioned before. I see he has CV's also.

I made a mistake thinking the carrier was a C4, it's from a T Bird also. The QC C3 cover is the only Corvette like item.

Again here is my cover vs. the dummy Quick Change cover. All C3 covers.
Different mount, This cover may be the same as the one above. Minus the flange above. The two extra ribs going to the top would seem to be in the way of the upper cover holes. The real item may not be like this.

OK,
Here is his finished product. Looking really nice, I do see trailing links on the LCA. But given that that this unit looks fairly wider than what I will need and if I add a true UCA. I would think the trailing links would not be needed.

The guy has been around, he did this QC job also.

Looking through his pics again. Something that should have been done different. He has very little lateral support. In fact the Heims in front offer none.

Everything rigidly mounted. All the NVH isolation gone. Rubber-isolated diff mounting gone. Suspension loads passed thru the rigidly-mounted diff case.
Basically street-rod C3/Jag practice, but design-wise a big step backward from how the MN12 Thunderbird was laid out by Ford.
IMO, of course...
