My Nova 16v Project

Here you also see how its held


The rear springs naturally sit at a "pointing back" angle, the same way the beam pivots forward, so we tried lifting the beam, and they sit absolutely perfect



Next up, remove the shims from the beams, to allow the heigh adjusters to seat correctly, and get rid

[trackdaynova]

Here is a side on view of the setup


Seats on minimum, beam lifted up to springs


All bolted up - oops too low


So we raised it 25mm

And even at the shocks at full droop, the spring height cannot fallout - we tried yanking them out and they wouldn't come! so all good




Really enjoyed today - learnt alot - I hope others do too from the pics!

Thanks for reading!

Excellent work, some awesome ideas gone into this project.
Not sure how you thought up with the rear spring retainer idea, but it looks like it will work perfectly!!

What welder was that bit of welding done with, a gasless mig? Looks well

[Ste L]

very cool....

i want a set

[trackdaynova]

Ad - Rich used a Clarke 160 Turbo Gas with that last piece of welding

Ste - I made another set of retainers, and also have had made another set of turned down heigh adjustable platforms to 58mm, all you'd need to do is buy yourself some 4" or 3" springs

Thanks for the lovely comments - i'm pissed as newt at mo! haha too many Kopparbergs me thinks
