There were still a few possible pinholes in the oilpan caused by porosity in the steel maybe because its an oilpan? so Zippo put a good coat of JB weld over the welds. We then made a motor mount negative Jig for mocking up the locations of the mounts in their new locations on the frame rails. once all the measurements were taken we clamped the negative jig in place and made some templates for the side plates out of cardboard. I quickly cut them out with the plasma, which was so handy to have close by any trimming we needed to do was done with the plasma.
You had to notch/modify the KZN-130 pan to clear the solid front axle and high-steer? I think the KZN-130 is IFS. I wonder if a pan from a KZN70 series Prado would clear? Don’t the Prados have a solid front axle?
