Purchased the cross member as full assembly from Datsport in South Australia. Datsport replaces the stock trailing arm mounting brackets with approximate 1/4" thick welded  brackets that have slots for easy and parallel adjustment. The through bolt has a slotted head through which the positive adjusting bolt slips. There are welded captive nuts that the adjusting bold threads into. Provides easy adjustment and a positive lock to the trailing arm position. No more sudden change in toe and no problems with the bushings binding. We have done a rough alignment.

Engine was rebuilt in spring of 2016 with a Guy Henson Crankshaft. Guy changes the oil passages to provide better oiling at high rpm. He drills 1 and 3 main to provide oil passages to 1 and 3 rod journals. He also eliminates the cross drilled rod journal oil passages and provides proper drilled oil passages to the mains. Each rod journal now is oiled from one main bearing.
