They need to cover the wheel dia. not the tyre They look OK to me.

However if you feel you need cycle wings I have a spare pair( no metalwork as yet though)you can use-- in black.

Hi Stot can i ask you as I'm going to Rally Design were these the right ones in the end?
Also what poundage did you get were they 250? And we're the 14" ones correct for the front, what poundage did you get for them?

Regards Mick.

Hi Mick,

I ordered these standard GAZ shocks from Rally Design and they fit nicely. About 1/2" little less droop at the rear than the custom extended ones NTS/Saturn supplied which didnt concern me as these are a cheaper off the shelf option.

Front = 14" open, 9.5" closed - 140/095/B12
Rear = 11" open, 8" closed - 110/80/B12

Springs I went for

Front = 350# - 8" - RD1.9/350/8
Rear = 250# - 7" - RD1.9/250/7

Although looking at Skovs latest posts about spring rates he is hardening up the rear somewhat having driven his a while now.

Cheers
Stot

Hi Stot thanks for that information I think I'll go with the same ones then, one other question the front top wishbones have unequal legs am I right in thinking that the longer one goes to the rear as the brackets don't seem to sit squarely on the uprights either way round but seems better with the long leg at the rear.

Regards Mick.

Actually the long one goes to the front so that the TRE is set back from center. Figure 25/Page 13 of the current Gillham/Saturn plans shows it quite nicely.

I had it the other way round at first and it caused a ridiculous amount of bump steer until I noticed the problem.

Thanks for that I must have looked at that with my eyes closed should've gone to spec savers LOL.

Hi Stot I went to Equinox today to get some body parts and mentioned to Dave that you wanted to borrow some cycle wings and he said he might be able to help you if you get in touch with him.
Regards Mick.

Body parts?----What do you need? A couple of spleens, kidney, lungs?

I have a spare brain--it wont cost you an arm and a leg.

Need some more valves for your head?

My missus has a spare tyre(or two)
