Correct Datum line measurement
« on: June 15, 2018, 09:55:52 PM »
Hello all, I'm currently measuring my vehicle to correct prior poor repairs. I need Correct under chassis height measurements from a given horizontal plane below the chassis... does anyone have an ACCURATE set of measurements available, as I believe the one listed in the manual is incorrect?
, thankyou,
Richard.

Why? Those are the measurements that frame shops use to straighten out Mustangs. I assume you are referring to the 1966 Comet, Falcon, Fairlane and Mustang Shop Manual.

I had a 66 GT Fastback (it now speaks Australian) that needed some frame straightening due to a collision on the right front (previous owner) and the measurements from the 66 service manual were used.
