Rear suspension – 12th March 2011


After the challenges of the rear diff assembling the rear suspension was relatively straight forward. In went the prepared de Dion tube, flexible brake hose connected, on went the rear damper assemblies & the radius arms. One thing the build manual doesn’t make clear is that the rear damper lower mounts are installed inside the side chassis rail but once we’d worked this out installation was easy, although Copperease on the lower radius arm bushes & a rubber mallet were required to get the lower radius arm to fit in the mounting on the de Dion tube.
