Suspension Brackets

[flyerncle]

Hello All

Has anyone got a picture of the front brackets mounted on the front of the chassis.
I am fitting mine and they do not look anywhere near as the rear bracket does not sit on the two rails and I am thinking there is a problem with the two legs of FF not being square with the rest of the chassis.

Cheers.

not totally sure of how you mean,

have you remembered that you will need to add a 3mm spacer behind the suspension brackets that are on FF2 & FF3 ?

also as you mention the rear bracket...... do you mean the lower rear front bracket? the one that sits on top of CP24 ?

i,ll have a dig thru my photo,s & see if i can find a pic for you .

cheers

Here is a picture from DaddyA's build pics:



Hopefully this will be of some use to you.

Here's one from the side Paul



I hope it helps mate & and yes ....... That chassis is still bright Red .... Not for much longer though

Thanks Gents,I did not add a spacer and that will probably fix it. I measured the placement of the front lower bracket,leveled it and then ran a bar through it for the rear lower bracket and set the distance,it sits on the outside frame leg instead of both at once. I thought it may be that the front frame uprights are not true to the rest of the rails.
Thanks for the input and if needs must I will slot the holes to get it to line up.

Why the change of colour Ronnie, It looks fine.

Cheers Guys.

Not sure slotting the mounts is the best idea??

Surley if all the mounts are supported by threaded bar in the jig & the measurements are all bang on then if the front frame is slightly out it will not matter & the brackets can be packed to suit.

I guess it does look kinda cool in Red, subject to personal taste of course

With my choosen body colour, the chassis ( What you will eventually see of it ) Will be too in your face.

Going to abrade it lightly & give it a more traditional Black finish .... Perhaps making some good use of 2K Epoxy based chassis paint

That Red Hamerite is just so brittle, that said it has served it's purpose of keeping the dreadded rust away
