We started off today with some suspension work. I had this impression that the car was far too high. It was but not nearly as much as I had thought. We are just going to have some pretty serious gab. The wheel is tiny and the space is huge. Ohh well, it will make a turn.
Before:
Stuff taken apart. We cut a coil off the passenger side (to match the drivers from the last work session). The bump stop got cut down a little too. We also cut down the threaded sleeve so the bumpstop was able to go all the way down.
We did some stuff to the back too. It’s pretty awesome how easy it is to take the back shock and spring off. Three bolts! Three! I have never worked on such a simple car. It’s nice.
Results:
We also installed the seat back brace. We still need to drill the hole for the quick release pin but other than that its ready to go.
Had to bend this to fit the shape of the seat.
We played with the steering wheel mount a little too. Now that the stock dash bar is gone, there is nothing for it to mount to. We are going to make up a bracket to attach it to the cage. Nick is seen here uhh doing something related to that.
Right turn clyde.
Returning to its rest spot under a tarp in the rain. Sleep well sweet prince.
