I am having trouble mounting the front frame into my Torana. I am using new bushes from Rare Spares but having trouble with the outrigers not fitting up between the body rails. I am using genuine Torana workshop manual and it appears I am fitting the bushes the correct way?

Have looked at some of the pictures on this site and not sure. I am new to this site.Attached File  IMG_0702.JPG   246.95K   9 downloads

I just finished installing my K-fame ,you need to turn your out rigger bush around and use a strap as above and a bottle jack helps too

Greased up paint scraper also helps.

Looks like the bush is fitted wrong away around, the LH book is wrong but the UC is correct, see Hanra's pictures above

This is one way to install a k-frame.
