My 79 has started leaking from the under car coolant lines. Currently I have been drilling out the 100 or so spot welds that hold the pan to the body that protects them. However it appears that there must be a clip or cross brace that is holding the bracket to the pipes under the car.
Does anyone know of any other welds or clips that would stop the pan from coming down and there locations for me to drill out the welds. I am trying not to mangal it into a worthless peice of metal.
My thoughts are that I will replace the lines with stainless, It appears to be 35MM tubing may be 1 3/8" or 1 1/2" will be what I am going to replace it with.
Then for the time being pop rivit the pan back under the car. When I do a total repaint I will strip the car back to the shell and weld it in at that time.
Opinions?
Thanks.
