with the Associated coils you almost don't even need to tighten the screws. The diameter of the spring is smaller than most and it is a bit of a bear to stretch the coil over the screws.

I used my router table with a straight cutter tip chucked in the router.

I thought about working something out with my Pajero HB, but decided to get rid of it to fund another project.

SPECIAL ED · 12-27-2006, 04:31 PM

You guys are bitchs. My wife is ready to leave me because I'm trying to keep up with everybody else biulding these damn scale rigs.

you got skillz

PinchFlat · 12-29-2006, 09:39 AM

Thanks for the comments guys.

Here is the brace I made to strengthen the panhard connection. I'm thinking it will be sufficient but we will see.

As you can see I moved the connection point out towards the front a bit. It looks like the steering rod will still clear fine.

PinchFlat · 12-29-2006, 09:47 AM

I also have had a few inquiries about my center clearance. It is at about 2 13/16" or about 71mm. This is of course an unladen chassis, it may drop a few ticks when complete.

1BadJeepBruiser · 12-29-2006, 09:54 AM

Looking good dude, thats a nice plate you made for the panhard bar, looks plenty strong for me. I have been wondering how everyone mounts the "coil" spring set ups on to the axles, so I guess its as simple as just using the 2 screws? Keep up the good work

Yes very simple... I used Associated front bugy springs they are smalle diameter than most so they are a tighter fit. works well... and thanks btw.

Do you tighten it down so it doesn't move or does it float back and forth in that channel?

It is tight. I used a lock nut to hold it in place.

the boss is starting to hate my collection too.

PinchFlat · 01-02-2007, 01:16 AM

Ok I did a little work this weekend.

The front articulated fine but the panhard did hit when going through front travel. So i fixed it because it bugged me.

I also made a simple anti-wrap (we'll see if it helps when in use).

I mounted the rear shocks also. I cut a brace out of delrin and mounted it between the chassis rails.

I mounted up stock TLT shocks. I my have a go at turning them down.

And lastly, I cut the chassis to length. From 16" to 14.5".

That's all for now...
