How did you locate and attatch the bracket to the frame that the Z bar attatches to? Do you have any pics?

Also

My origional automatic drive shaft yoke is to big for my M-20. Do I need a different drive shaft or just the yoke? If just the Yoke is it 4 speed specific?

Thanks

as far as the z-bar tab, you can buy one for an 80-81 that bolts on, that way you don't have to mess with welding a 79 or older on. Just drill and tap and you're in business.
