Tie Bar Castor bracket (Anti Dive kit)

[NovaNeil]

Hello,
Anyone know anything about these Rose Jointed Castor brackets?
Also known as an Anti Dive kit. Who runs them? How much do they cost and where sells them? Read about them in an Old Total Vauxhall. Sounds like a good investment, for some extreme corning :P

Any details or experiences?

Cheers

Neil

deduces liftoff and diving during straightline and cornering

if you have a small block engine, they are a piece of wee to fit, although they will more than likely require the holes to be eloganted in the ally blocks and bracket.

if you have a big block, its a slut of a job lol, but still straight forward enough :)

I have them. Very good - you will need to get some longer nuts and bolts cos they are spaced lower by about 30 mm than std.

If you look at them when they are fitted you will see that instead of the tie bars angled up towards the front, they are a lot more level which is how the anti-dive bit works. They also come with spacer tubing which can be cut to length to set caster. More positive caster = razor sharp steering reponse and turn in. Tuning the suspension at the front of a Nova can make a big difference in cornering ability and is well worth doing

what engine mount rubbers do you have... sounds like the passenger side one is a bit shagged

[crossa]

The standerd ones.Time for replacement you think???And than no bouncing with the gearbox?But with lower tie bar brackets,will there be more space than?
