I assume the upper brackets are what Carter is making?

Work is killing me. Have the rears ready. Need a more agressive way to open the rear frame. This weekend.....maybe.

Well...had the bottom bolts done locally. The top pieces need a little refinement to be perfect. We'll get them right for everyone else. Need to get the install complete to finish the design.

looking forward to the pictures

what did you do for the bottom bolts?

Demps · 04-06-2010

Boy, I've used every Sunday school word in the four-letter language. I have a recommendation, pay someone! I learned more lessons than I ever want to learn again.

Had the car back to together and it drove wonderfully. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted it lowered another inch. Went at it today. The process is quite involved: use a strap wrench to hold the lower collar while using the spaner wrench to adjust the mount height. Well the coil would turn ever so slightly. Heard what I think was the gear clip pop off. Have to take the rears off again to fix--and it is no small feat.

When finished I will write up all of my lessons learned and will provide my particular height adjustment for the fronts and rears.

Carter and I are collaborating on a near perfect adaptation of mounting hardware.
