I respectfully suggest that you really do a lot more research as to what is the safest way to split your wish bones. Here's a start: http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/1506-ti...-mounting-kit/ Also, call www.hotrodworks.com and get their input. What you do may seem to work for a while, but there is a tremendous amount of stress put on wishbones especially when they are split. Constant stress will lead to metal fatigue and eventual failure. Please read all of this thread:

However, pay attention to what V8Coopman says. Henry Ford did it correctly.
