Rear Coilover Bracket - Bottom

[Guest elgey7]

Help please,

Anybody got a pic of the RH bottom coilover bracket showing it fitted to a 2b?

I just got a pair orf brackets from GBS to fit my new GAZ coil overs and the brackets are offset - which way round?

 

By the way the reason I am replacing them is cos one of my zimmerides snapped on the road - very scary!

SNapped clean off by the bottom pin - oil every where!

Be warned all still using them.

Hi Colin,

I changed mine over to Gaz coil overs some months back. The brackets were pretty easy to fit. Hopefully the photo's show you what you need to know.

How much were the brackets ?

 

Got steel in the garage ready to make some, but will buy from GBS if they are reasonable.

sounds like your bottom brackets are front lower ones as they are offset the rear ones are not ,I had the same problem but GBS soon sent me the right ones.

also note, when you fit them make sure you have the bottom coilover bolt is aligned so that it pivots in the same line as the traling arm bolts otherwise the shock bushes will wear out.

Thanks guys

I thought it was odd the fact that they were offset as per the front.

I don't supose it matters so long as i bolt them centered.

How did you guys overcome the 20mm center hole in the arm?

 

re the price They coat me £15 the pair

 

When I converted my fronts some time ago I made them & welded them up myself.

Not that impressed with the GBS ones they need washers/spacers.

I had a short length of box section, & angle ground out the top section, leaving a U.

 

Cleverly (alright, sttroke of luck) the box section was the same width as the GAZ eye & bush.

 

If the GBS ones have a big hole, just plate over with a piece of 3mm mild steel.

Big washer or bit of drilled steel plate can go under the spring pan hole.
