    Hello Everyone, I bought a set of Fatman uprights and decided to install them into my 53 Merc on Saturday. After some fighting with some of the new grease seal I decided to take a break and just do a basic mock up before getting back to fight installing the seals. I ran into an issue that I did not expect and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
    Now the only thing I have done extra was to install the upper A arm frame realignment plates so that I could have an alignment shop add the extra shims for caster and camber. I started to get frustrated and decided to take a couple of pictures and walk away for now. Thought some one here might have an idea as to what is going on with this setup? 004.JPG 001.JPG Notice how the upper A arm is so far away from the rubber bumper and where the Upright is hitting the frame. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

    Call Fatman. They're very helpful concerning their products.
