Hi, I've been looking again at your photo of the front end set up.

I'm a little confused with the front shocker lay out with the Armstrong.

I cannot see a link arm that will allow the shocks arm to move through the radial path they require without link arms.

Am I missing something?

Yes, the link arm is in the picture. it is attached to the shock with the slightly visible caslte nut on the shock. It swivels on the pin.

[Guest 2b cruising]

Hi again. Yes I get the swivel part of it. What I don't get is you shock is solid mounted, you actuator arm is fixed to the top of your upright.

As your suspension goes up and down, how do you maintain a constant camber with the arm moving through a radial plane.

[femster87]

The link arm swivel on both ends. The top of the upright has a bushed trunnion

[Guest 2b cruising]

Thanks for that.

Sorry to be a pain in the neck.

Well, there has been a lot of work going on quietly on the car but I have been too busy to document this. I will take some pictures later. The car has just been collected for paint. It will be back before xmas

Update from painters

 

 

 

Bonnett is not wavy just the dust on camera.

 

I have the doors to finish and drop off. Also i need to chose the colour. blue or new range rover evoque cherry red. Suggestions welcomed

Cherry red for me every time.

French racing blue would be good and more period correct, but that evoque red is gorgeous!

Visual confirmation

 

 

[Guest 2b cruising]

Your choice is the one that counts.

Mine would be full gloss none metallic dark blue with many coats of clear to get the rich deep finish.

I'm sure whatever you pick it will be terrific.

[theduck]

That makes giving an opinion even harder! I think I am still just about on the side of the red.

[Guest 2b cruising]

I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure.

Will be a beautiful car in either colour. The elder statesman in me ( alright just old codger then ) favours the blue.

Got to say I love the red Femi, but the blue is also nice. Glad I don't have to make the choice
