Front Lower Control Arm Mounts - I.D.?

[jshwank]

I'm in the process of building up a HP44 and need to know what the I.D. (Inside Diameter) of the stock lower control arm mounts are? I wanna say that they're either 2.5" or 2 5/8". Does anyone know this off the top of their head or have a mount that they can measure? Unfortunately, I don't have access to my stock axle right now to measure it. Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to help me out!

Thanks!

Yeah, they're 2 5/8". That is also the width of joints that you might buy to make arms, like RE or Currie johnny joints. I always make my mounts out of 3" boxed tubing, 3/16" wall, which gives a 2 5/8" ID.
