Post by JAT »

new agenda item would be extended shackles.

Anyone have a set lying around for a narrow track or somewhere cheap to buy or fab up a set? or maybe a set from a different car that would fit?

i second these questions... i had a bit of a search the other day and couldnt really find an exact answer to where they can be purchased/fabricated. And also if someone had some spare or knows someone that could fab some up, i would pay for them and postage and some for your trouble :)

Any metal fabjoint will do it. Just pull your out, take them to them, say i want you to make these again but longer by XXmm. And make em bloody strong ;) . Shouldn't cost much. My mate could prolly do them but sum1 would need to give him a set of roza ones to go off. I'll be getting mine done someday :D

superior engineering? there out caboolture way arent they?

Another thought i had on the shackle issue,
All the previous posts states that by extending the rear shackle by to much twists the diff and induces a lot of vibration.

Has anyone ever extended the front mount for the rear leaf , I had a look at the feroza last night and it looks like a plate that's welded to the chassis rails, Would it be possible to extend this plate aswell, so the both mounts for the rear leaf set are extended by an inch?

As far as i can tell this would help eliminate the vibration issue, But If someone could fill me in on additional issues it could introduce? The only real thing i could think of was extra stress on the drive shafts uni joint ( think thats what its called)

Cheers.
