As with everything I went my own way slightly on the rear suspension…<\/p>\n

The “kit” reversed A arms were rubber bushed and didn’t twist in the chassis, this meant that the uprights couldn’t be angled back to provide the correct suspension geometry (I modelled this extensively)… Plus as a bonus the chassis mods meant they clashed now with the chassis.<\/p>\n

Yet again making a rod for my own back.<\/p>\n

So we started off with the advanced pipe notcher…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And some machined spherical bearing housings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A bit of welding later…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And into the jig.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much fettling later and we have a pair of rear arms<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although I did sell out and get someone to make up the adjusters… even though I have a lathe it was cheaper than just buying the metal and the tooling!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Only took me a month and a half to make!<\/p>\n

Finally have a comparison between old and new.<\/p>\n
