Popular Post yetchh Posted January 27 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 27 So today I installed the cylinders dustboots and springs, hooked up the springs and put the diff back in.. Springs, All together and looking so much better that before and working also, only thing is there needs to be some sort of spacer in the rubber boot as the bolts that hold the boot plate on also hold the cylinder one and so compress the rubber and bend the plate, this was like this before but I bashed the plates flat again, will have to see what I can find.. She's all in and looking very clean, also very low.. After putting it in and being finally happy with the height as will @Valiant I gave it a test and it's very soft, softer than it was which I guess now there's no fiction it's much easier to compress the leaves.. I do have a set of helpers that came off and I painted but the u bolts are an odd size that I can't find, hopefully just the addition of that will change the spring rate enough, that and the additional changes to the damper valves makes it better.. As it is, if I get a couple of people on the back she'd be very low... Now to move onto the front.. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yetchh Posted February 3 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 3 Put the shoes and drums back on today, my mates at the platers also managed to lose one of the shoe retaining pins which is a cunt, went to a brake place in Nelson yesterday and the closest they had was from a falcon but 4mm to long. Broke it trying to modify it so I barried one up of of a split pin for now.. Also upgraded the oil in the dampers to 40wt and they're much better. Put my other rims on and straight away they hit the innner guard which sucks a bit, after I took them off I put the helper springs on to see what difference they make to the spring rate and it's way better, suits a touch higher also, so I'll clean up the u bolts and put them on.. Looks so much better tho, can't wait to do the front.. Been meaning to do this for about 6 years.. 26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
