Front shock tower spacers

Post by advdisco1 »

I was thinkin to raise them 25-30mm over standard height.

Thanks Paul.

yeah could do that. I was thinking about 100mm exhaust pipe cut 25mm and 2 exhaust flanges top and bottom.Then weld them together.

I'm pretty sure Sam just cut the tower and just welded tube in where the cut was made. Wouldn't that be easier than making flanges etc.
