    1963-67 Front Rocker Molding Bracket - Where is this found (+ two rivets) in the AIM?

    There is a bracket attached to the front tip of the rocker panel area (rear of front wheel well) of the body panel fiberglass. It is attached with two rivets, and there is an off-white plastic/nylon nut inserted in the square opening on the bottom.

    Where is this located in the AIM?

    I thought it should be on 1ASM-F4, but I don't see it.

    It typical for the rods to sit a bit twisted till full weight is on suspension. Movement back and forth helps too.

    Did you assemble the small cup washers that go on both sides of the bushings?

      Gene,

      Thanks, the rubber looks so twisted and separated from the steel that it's hard to believe they're still okay.

      About the the small cup washers, I have a set from Bairs, forgot all about them. How do they fit? It doesn't look like there's any space between the steel part of the bushing and the strut rod bracket. Anyone have a picture of these installed?

      (thread is here: Problem with new Strut Rod Bushings - are these ruined?)

          Thanks John, I see it now. That assembly manual is an amazing book, with stuff hidden all over the place. Sometimes it's like finding Easter eggs

                Alan,

                Thank you for the link, that's it. The 1963 AIM shows this bracket (GM 3833355, 3833356) was added on 9-27-62, along with the pop-rivets (GM 3828470), and these same part numbers continued through 1967.
