Thanks to a few great members, the prototype based on Dazecar details (slightly modified) has been built.
Mods:
- All-thread goes for entire length, and is plug welded in bottom plate for extra strength (you don't want one of these giving way!)
- Square washers used above top plate - these should be round washer to allow greasing and easier movement (thrust bearing was too hard to find)
- Holes instead of slots in the top plate. These can be opened up to slots if the top suspension mount has different centre dimensions (they are pressed - so likely to differ from car to car)
Production of final units for those who expressed interest in about to start.
