hi I'm bill from CJ Pony parts we originally installed total control products Bolton coiler
of a conversion kit on our 70 Mach one since then we've tied the front suspension together
better find some that are adjustable export brace and they're adjustable monte-carlo bar
now we're gonna tie those two products together by these additional trust braces we're gonna
install between the export brace brackets and the monte-carlo bar itself the tower
truss support braces are going to require the use of the TCP export brace and they're
adjustable Montecarlo bar these pieces here gonna wrap around the Montecarlo he's gonna extend over
to the shock towers themselves to tie all the pieces together for this installation
at a 3/8 ratchet 7/32 allen key 5/16 allen key 3/4 wrench and a 7/16 wrench to begin
the truss brace installation by removing just one side of the monte-carlo bar we have to take
the end off the brackets for the trust brace can be slid over if we can mount them later
because we have to remove the end we're taking a quick measurement how
many threads we have to the lock nuts and put it exactly the same place it was before
now we can install both brackets for the truss braces what we're going to
do is use a screwdriver flathead push them outside
to open them up a little bit make a little bit easier to slide them on
now we can reattach our Monte Carlo bar
reattach some nut and bolt a hole to the bracket and tighten that down
don't forget to tighten down the lock nut
I can move on to the truss braces now we're gonna assemble the trust braces themselves
you look closely you'll notice the one GM nut has a yellow zinc coating that's the one that's gonna
be a left hand thread the standard one's gonna be right-hand thread before we install it and put a
dab of anti-seize on both of them just leave a little bit for the jamb not in the tube itself
I'm ready to install now we're ready to install in support rods I mentioned earlier but one side
had the zinc nut in the left hand thread and the standard one on either side the zinc is
going to go to the truss brace outside here this is going to go to our shock tower plate
put the shorter bolt through and install the nut then the
longer bolt is going to go through the brace
and install the nut and then tighten everything down
I will spread the locknuts after the rod
I'm tighten everything now
we repeat the process on the other side and our installation is finished
the total control products trust support braces tie in perfectly with our Monte Carlo bond our
export bracer we're looking to set up the front end of our 70 Mach 1 they're also
the easiest to install off stick around half an hour through back on the road in no time
