Yes they're ok, for the road.

 

If you get a chance, have a go with the big spacers to move the front wheels out of range of the bottom of the suspension.

 

Will be interesting, wider track & more suspension movement will result.

 

Morgan use the Sliding pillar arrangement & have done forever so it's not all bad...

Except Morgan didnt try to do it with recycled 15 year old mot failed Sierra bits....

Seriously tho, RH's sliding pillar is fine for normal driving on normal roads, but....

I have tried both setups on normal roads & on track & wobbly wishbones are definitely better....

The tyre does run very close to the spring on a pillar. There is almost no play in the setup, so any clearance, no matter how small, is OK. You can fit small wheel spacers (mine were 5mm) to increase it. Try & set up the camber both sides identical, you will probably have to cut/grind the slots larger to do it.

 

 

forgotten the joys of 15 year old plus sierra bits

 

got myself 2 front hubs for when i do the wishbone conversion, and managed to wind the heads off both strut clamp bolts!

 

glad i am not gonna cut the sliding stuff off till next year!
