Following installation of a new under car exhaust system on my old Mark 1, I've freed-up space behind my rear axle allowing me to install a 3-link rear suspension system. (I'm currently running a 4-link.)
I ordered my 3-link kit from Factory Five on Monday and have been researching the installation; particularly the attachment of the banana bracket onto the rear axle. I've downloaded Mark Reynolds' Breeze instructions and plan on welding the banana bracket onto the axle to prevent the bracket from slipping on the axle housing. However, my question pertains to welding the inner edge of the bracket that butts up against the differential housing. Since they're dissimilar metals, I'm not sure about welding the bracket onto the housing.
I was thinking about trimming about a 1" x 0.125" notch on the inside edge of the banana bracket which would allow me to weld the bracket to the axle housing. I found a photo on the forum and edited it to show where I plan on welding. (Weld the entire outer edge of the bracket; a couple of plug welds on the front side of the bracket, and the 1" x 0.125" notch on the inside edge of the bracket.)
What do you guys think?
