kpr Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 i'd make a double sided setup like this. weld it to the back of the link mount and to the diff case itself. or weld to link mount and strengthen the link mount. but if you and your cert man are happy with it, carry on. ps: i would extend the link mount while your at it. lowering the bottom links will give you more grip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Its likely those T3 Rear coilovers wont pass cert due to their design. Pretty sure the adjustable sleeve has to be welded to the actual shock body, and the T3 ones just have the clamp holding the sleeve on.So in my eyes if the bolts broke then your whole coilover would colapse and you would be fucked. Maybe just double check with your cert man before going through the process. Or correct me if you've checked already ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 you guys realise that the one he linked too is in deed certed, and certed by our resident certifier Clint and he is also the one who said that thats how it was supposed to be done right? granted, doing what KPR said would be far more bad ass, but what he's done is supposedly legit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Ifs its certed then Ill east my words. Just seems a bit odd, keen for Clint to chip in with some proper info tho/why it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt. Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I am now looking into doing some improvements similar to kpr suggestion for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sweet wheels, much better then those hideous roller skates that were/are on it now. To split welded bands you can either machine off the outer barrel and get a new one made, or if you are very carefull/lucky I have heard of people splitting the weld (on a lathe or with a thin cutoff disc) and salvaging the barrels.

beachlander Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I wouldnt split them unless you were going to get new front lips made. High chance of ruining the front lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt. Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Haha. Cheers. Yeah I had a quick google and doesn't seem like a cheap/easy thing to do so they can stay as they are. Just to find another pair now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
