Been a lot of work going on for the last month changing the damper mounts on the chassis and axle. This week all the mounting, welding and testing was completed, I now have a completely clean axle clearance. Green laning and pay&play tomorrow :cheer:





This one doesn't do it justice bad camera angle

Not long got in after a lonnnng day out, 8am start had a rough time with a knacked bush on the push rod so was fighting the steering on the road, basically "death wobble" which i hadn't noticed before going out.

suspension set up is "home made" have a friend who is a good fabi, so the new damper towers are 6mm steel, the original bottom mounts removed and new platforms made that mount level with the axle.

pictures speak a thousand words so will post them up and not bore you with the crap descriptions i keep typing and deleting.

scruffy at the minute




6mm welded both sides of each seam


flash photography makes every thing look shitty! (must sort those banana springs one days also!)


[strike]
Not got any pictures of the bottom mount setup, will get some this week.[/strike]

REALLY nice flex!

1) which springs are you using?

2) ... your radius arms mounts are above the axle and not below ... wow ... never seen a mod like this ...
