body and interior Rear subframe adjustment

[DeanR32]

Hi faq

 

I've got a bit of a discrepancy in my rear arches after welding them on. The right side rear wheel sits out around 1/4" out more than the left rear wheel. I've tried using a hydraulic pump to push it across, but it took up the play in the rubbers instead. 

 

Do they usually have any movement in them? If not, I'll be cutting the arch off to do again, and that will put me on the Prozac

 

any ideas?

There is no adjustment in a stock rear subframe. 

 

Mine is off about 1/8 in to one side.   QC not as tight 40 years ago. ...subframe is in the right place,  but body panels are not.

This is my problem too. 

 

Ive cut away so much poor warped metal out of the quarters, and I've welded Rabbit flares on, but I welded one side with the arch over the quarter, and the other side under. With the state of the quarters, and the difference in how I did each side, it's left them different. 

 

I re-measured it, and the difference is more like 3/8"! The last thing I wanted to do was cut off and re-weld! 

 

And ive got one month till it goes Le Mans!
