    So I am on the search for some 36 bones for my coupe project. The March meet is coming up and I know that they have a swap area. How would I tell the 36 wish bones apart from the others? Is there any characteristics that they have that the others do not? I am also going to be needing some patch panels for the lower cowl section of my coupe. I dont remember where I saw it on here but I remember someone posting on here that they had bought some from a company but the lines did not match up very well. I know there is going to be some fitting and some playing around but is there a company out there that makes a good patch panel? Thanx for any info you can drop.

    if you are looking for rear bones, the 35 and 36 rear bones are the only ones the rear spring mounts to the bone itself

    How do you know you need '35-'36 rear wishbones, if you don't know what they are?

    Thanx airbag. Well I am the FNG here and thats why I am here looking for answers to some of the ?'s that I have (you dont know until you ask). I do not "need" the wishbones but am thinking that is the way I would like to go as I know there are many ways to go about the rear set up. If I'm not mistakin I believe the wishbone set up was on different makes/models (not sure if they are the same or different) of vehicles but again I am the FNG with his 1st build trying to soak it all in. So kick me in the balls.....I can take it.

    I don't think anyone was trying to 'kick you in the balls'... He did ask a valid question. You said you were working on a coupe. You didn't mention anything about the year of the coupe, or the year of the running gear under it. It's valid to ask why you need 35-36 rear wishbones, based, if nothing else, on the fact that other year wishbones might work just as well in your situation.
     
  7. They look like this at the axle end.
