When I last left you I had just weighed it and it was just completed enough to get it running, I've now been spending some time getting things sorted out and the little stuff completed. Have a look...
This is the seat belt shoulder bar. The belts wrap around the bar. No tabs to be welded on, no nuts, washers and bolts=lighter.

Paul,
I have to upgrade my rear shocks. The ones I have are too long for my new setup. They are Carrera light weight small tube threaded aluminum shocks. They don't weigh anything. The shocks are a 7 in stroke, 14 in compressed, 21 extended. I have a set of 180 lb springs also. They use the 1 7/8 springs that are 10 inches long. I am sure if you cut the springs you could A) up the rate, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) lose some more weight. One end is a rod end and the other is a stud, but you can adapt it to a rod end as well and then you could run it upside down so you could lose some unsprung wieght. |
