Finished the brackets to mount the coilovers under an angle, placed new uniballs in the coilovers and test fitted it again. Looks mean  |

I know what you mean about them working on the angle as Ive had issues with this before , but Ive seen them used on race cars and hot rods at angles around 45 degrees so why not . Doe's look mean as hell |

Super thread! And inspired work!
Have you checked what the angle will be with full compression on the rear suspension...?

Mechanical emergency brakes.........how needs them Just a little weight saving [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] While the Porsche front is narrowed 2,5" I had to modify the stabiliser as well. I just gave it a try, and to my surprise it worked very well. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] Paul. |

Finlay I received my stainless brake (hard) line. Time to sort out where to mount things. I placed gear shift again, took place at the driver seat and try-ed to reach the gearstick and emergency brake. while the front and rear main brakecylinders are both 1", I also needed a brakepress. reduce valve. In the pictures the reduce valve is mounted against the emergency brake bracket. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] A lot of words to say that i did not do that much  Paul. |

After I was tyred trying to make the (home made) gearbox mount to fit. I ordered a new one, modified it to my standard and ideas, welded the adjusters and mounted it.

As shown in earlyer pictures, the emergency brake had to move backwards. to mount this brake I needed a piece of flat steel.
So I lengthened the small flat piece from the original mount.

And here it is with the brake on it.

The gearbox adjusters take care of the up/down forces, but with the missing forks it also need someting to take care of the length forces.
Cos I can adjust the height, these new length rods had to be able to turn and adjust.

I had second thoughts about the uniballs I used, so I ordered bigger/stronger uniballs.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
M18 (18mm)
Static strength (Co kN) 81,5
dynamic strength (Co kN) 64,0

Be interested to see how you do this Paul , I'd like to do this to mine but it looks to be a fair bit of cutting and Fab work involved |
