My first REAL attempts at welding on the Z…a few had popped in this area so I took the opportunity to repair and strengthen things up a bit.

240z-TTT Camber Plates
Here you can see my journey into installing the TTT bolt in camber plates. The first few pictures (2-4) are for if you are to bolt the plate underneath the tower which I am not going to do…after all why would I want to hide these amazing plates. Picture 5 is what things should look like for a camber over installation…obviously i’m not going this route. There is a bit of an optical allusion when installing these plates that you should be aware of (and drove me crazy) as they will appear off center despite following the original holes for reference. This is because of the shock tower support having an angle relative to install that throws things off a bit (to the eye). It should also be noted that the spacing of the original holes on my car were not perfectly symmetrical relative to the top of the tower…your mileage may vary. Gabriel at TTT was gracious enough to make me some support brackets for under my towers to help further re-enforce my installation as I was worried about the strength of doing a bolt over installation (Bolt Under is stronger from a engineering perspective).
Notes: Picture 5 is much straighter then the picture would lead you to believe in person.

280ZXR – Rear Carpet remove/prep
Early prep work for the new carpet. There were some rust spots that are not showing up on camera that were fixed. I ended up repainting the rear area to prevent future rust from occurring and additional protection.
