New product under test was created by mlines
Thanks to Chris Heal the shop now has a new product under test.
These fit onto the end of the rear shocks and (hopefully) fulfil two objectives:
1. They have offset holes so that the shock can be stepped backwards reducing the likelyhood of the spring and shock hitting each other, a classic problem with lifting springs and aftermarket shock absorbers.
2. They add in a second direction of rotation, hopefully stopping the shock from winding itself undone (drivers side) or winding itself tight (passenger side)
A third benefit is the artificial increase in shock absorber length by about 1 inch.
As stated these are going out on trial to see of they work, if they do then the final product will also be coated to protect against rust.
Can I take a quick straw poll on who would be interested in buying these if they went into full production?
On the subject of trials we have another product being prototyped. Does anyone have a standard Jimny (complete with standard plastic bumpers) who would be willing to pop over to Reading in Berkshire for the testing of a bolt on product. The only criteria being that you must off-road your Jimny in order to properly test for me.
