Front Suspension

Finally got round to starting the front suspension build along with the anti roll bar fitting.

Following the instructions for the Gen II manual worked pretty smoothly although cleaning out several of the suspension pivot holes caused a few issues.

With both top and bottom wishbones installed the chassis was carefully trued up to allow for accurate setup of the camber and caster angles. Essential to read carefully the manual and proceed slowly, one side at a time.

Setting the caster between 6 to 8 degrees

Front coil over shock added with the anti roll bar mount just being drilled and tapped. Drilled through at the front and tapped at the rear.

 Nearside complete apart from brake calipers and attachment of track-rod ends. The disc's are yet to have the protective coating removed but this will be done when the calipers are finally fitted.

Offside complete apart from brake calipers and attachment of track-rod ends.
