Suspension brackets on front frame!!

[will_08]

Ok i get what you mean, ill need to double check it with a fresh head tomorrow.

But if i can find nothing astray.

if im at the front of the chassis the right hand side is fine, am i ok just bringing the studing sligtly out on the left hand side at the top, along with U2 as you said? to ge the bracket in. Also should i bring the top brackets out a bit do the lower brackets need to come out too?

Cheers Will

Also FF4 is 630mm long, the thread bar is 670mm apart on my jig at the top!

The brackets on the front frame goes on the lower angled section, the top edge of the bracket sits on the weld between the two. If your too wide between hole centres it does'nt matter too much as there is adjustment in the drag link, you just need to split the difference between left and right.

Thanks for the advice Phil, ill double check there is nothing obvious thats caused this in the 1st place.

Can you post a pic of the lower of the front frame where the compound angles meet the FF1(i think).
Does the front frame lean back the 75mm?
Im wondering if the compound angles are the cause of the problem.
Did you use the front frame guide when you made it?

The frame as per the book is wrong and does not work!!!!
Put the brackets on the front frame with G clamps, use a sprit level left to right and measure the stud centres on the back face of the brackets.
Take the wooden jigs and throw them in the bin.
Make two new jigs with the new measurements from the rear of the brackets.
Reposition U1+U2 stightly wider to suit your front frame.
Use a straight edge about 1000-1500mm long to hold against the brackets to see where they point down the chassis.
Fully weld and progress.....
