Double Wishbones

[Guest simonb]

Hi Guys,

 

Haven't posted for a while as have been rebuilding engine. I'm having a bit of trouble seeing how to fit the upper/lower wishbones to my 2B plus. There are 4 right-angle brackets in the kit so do I need to weld these on?

 

I would have thought that these would come pre-welded considering the difference in price of the 2B plus and the std 2B kit, and the videos don't really go into any detail on the subject.

 

If someone could post a picture of how the rear of the wishbones attach, I would be most greatful (and buy them some beer when the cars finished).

Simon,

The right angle brackets are bolted on to the chassis behind the right angle pieces. You can weld them on if you want but I would suggest bolting them initially (just in case it goes a bit pear shaped), you'll also need to space it out with washers too. If you pm your e-mail address to me, I'll send you a photo so you can see what I mean.

 

Mike.

Cheers mike - have pm'd email address. I thought that all suspension mounts etc had to be welded for SVA?

[Guest MikeD318]

It says bolt them in place on my videos. I have used ht bolts anyway.

Hi Simon,

Here's a pic of the bottom wishbone mounting

I'll see what I've got re' the upper one - but once it's in position you need a fibre optic system to photograph the dumb thing.

Here's the upper arm - but the bracket is hiding behind the square tube where the upper shocker mount goes.

If you want to see a pic of the bracket - after modification have a look at Steve Loat's website Steve Loat
