Well I've finished my latest design of rear wishbone, Mk5 I believe...
That's it, no more changes or tweaks its done...

Hi Dave,
I kept to the CAD drawing and fitted a piece of 25mm SHS between the tubes and fully welded it to the upright bracket support.
The design keeps the shock length the same as the Saturn spec which is convenient as I purchased some shocks this week to that specification.





I feel a lot happier now with this design as it's a lot stronger than the one I had on the car and is still adjustable. I've upgraded the tube size from 19mm to 25mm to accommodate the weld in Rose joint threaded adapters.
So these are now ready for powder coating.

I also got round to bonding my big head fasteners to my bonnet scoop today ready for drilling my bonnet tomorrow and test fitting... Sorry no photo yet.

Still haven't plucked up the courage yet to start the engine...
I was planning to have my exhaust by now ready for the first turn but not quite gone to plan.....LOL
