Strengthening the spring plate support / Shock Towers !!!
All,
I am reading through our off road bible:
(BAJA BUGS & BUGGIES by Jeff Hibbard)...page 75-76.
If you don't have the book....GET IT ! 100% recommended !!!
I am looking at the gussets on the rear cast shock towers !
It explains that it strengthens the lower spring plate supports on the inside of the towers by adding 1/8 inch steal plate ! and it also mentions to
add an additional 2 gussets to strengthen the tower !
Now I can see the logic behind this but my question to anyone out there is:
1. Has anyone done these mods ???
ANY PICS ???
2. Has anyone got a TRUE story to tell about damage to this Tower
ANY DAMAGE PICS !
I am going through some offroad mods at the moment and just want some convincing as to why I should add this weight !
