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

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 lol

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!

like it mate, real thought gone into that setup.

looking ace olz.

:thumb: nice work

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!! :cool:

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

very cool....

i want a set lol

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

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
