The rear suspension is no longer DeDeon.pete wood wrote:awesome stuff. great to see that car back on deck again. are you keeping the dedion rearend?
If you look at the pictures you will see that the dropped axle is no longer connected together from each side.
It now has heim joints mounted to the chassis under the CV joint location.
This effetively makes it an independant suspension with a swingaxle wheel travel.
The best thing about this style of swingaxle,
is the camber can be adjusted with the lower heim joint,
and the roll centre is not high like a conventional swingaxle car.
As long as the mountng points are strong(just tacked in at the moment),
and the car is properly wheel aligned,
this car will run nice and straight.

includes everything.
shocks .steering shaft,steering arms and brand new steering box. even the ali front end bracket.pagey is getting the spindle and king pins,but he might not want them,so i will leave that up to pagey,but i know he atleast wanted to get some measurements off it.
let me know.i checked today it won't fit in the car for the dyno day ,not with a car load of travellers,so we will have to organize something else.

I have a bit of left over paint from my new T3 shop van (pictured below)....I was thinking if it went satin blue like the van it could be called "Blue Balls".....haha 😂dangerous wrote:That IS a good name for a race car.

Don't know if that would be cool though! Maybe thats all you'll end up with after spending all your cashola on the racecar if your wife finds out what it really costs to go racing!

now that warwick is out of the way for another year, its time to start get into the tube chassis car, need to chase up westi to send the front end up to me and will go and see trevor i think at custom exhaust to bend up some bar work and weld up the front of the chassis. Will also have to chase around for some front wheels as well so if anyone knows of some spindle mount wheels to suit strange strut so i can fit front brakes let me know...

its ok, i had a courier pick the front end up today from westi and sending it to my work. Will be getting my new wheels in a fortnight then taking the car to get the front of the chassis welded on so with any luck the car will be back on its wheels in a few weeks or so. I will post some pics when i get the new bits

well i have a front now and will have front wheels in another week or so then off the customer exhaust to weld on the front bar work, finally getting close to being back on its wheels again. All the old front bar work has now been cut off and ready for new work
