Rear Suspension Jig?

[twinturbo]

Is there any details of a rear suspension jig? when I redoo my mounts I want to get them right and the book is a little wooley on the desctiption and placement and measuring from some of the locations in the diagram looks like it will take 5 hands with 7 setsquares..

12MM studding with nuts to set distance then clamp check move etc the tack check recheck then weld.
you dont need jigs for any of the sus mounts if your patient and keep checking.
thats how i did mine anyway

TT - I did a dxf for a bit of plate that could be sat on the build table to do front and rear brackets - same thing could easily be done in MDF. If you want I can dig it out and add some dimensions.

Build Table... Yeah that's where my issues start, having bought a completed chassis

Any additional dimensions would be useful, from what I can determin the lower bracket center line is 35mm from the board ( so I guess must be 10mm from the base of RS1 )

I'm sure there is a way around the build table Shouldn't be a big problem setting the brackets up with just studding, that is how I di my front brackets - measure 50 times weld once

Anyhow, I've attached my jig dimensions below. The two holes in red are the rear suspension mount positions. The vertical positions are from the build table (i.e. bottom of your chassis rails) so you should be able to work back from there. Hope that is some use

Cheers

So that clever looking jig does both front and back?
