Small update. The intrax are 'upside down' so adjusters at the bottom of the strut, I won't lie, less than ideal!
A great engineer on here made me some roll centre adjusters to my spec, this week I finally ordered the right bolts in the right length and thread to bolt bits together properly. I was really pleased to see I was 5mm out on some. However, great to have it all properly together.
Caliper brackets are not properly mocked up, Its nice and tight under the wheels. A little too tight for the watanabes, they'll need a 2mm spacer. to be honest I can't be arsed to change the whole setup in the chase for 'perfection'. The other wheels are spot on though.
My last rack was cracked, a replacement found from Murdocks friend. used all the best bits to make the best rack I could out of all of the parts. I've added new nipples, most racks nipples can be improved on. These nipples had gone hard from old lube blocking them up, the new rack with new nipples and lube feels lovely to touch. I was in the garage for about 3 hours playing with the rack, it wasn't the most fun i've ever had. Seems like decent racks are in short supply. I'd like a new one, I've got a cost however spare cash is in short supply.
damaged parts not used
Has anyone on here also rebuilt a rack and set it up to the FSM's spec? I've just ordered a spring weight to try and do it correctly. i'll then paint it.
So CV-19 has helped me make progress, took me 3 days to sort and empty the garage so I can get to the car. Once the slightly longer bolts arrive i'll torque all the front and rear running gear to spec, fit the rack and think about the fuel/brake lines. I won't lie, I hate doing hard lines as they never ever look quite right.
