Velcro would be easier😋 Thank you, I might fabricate a prototype, certainly velcro will enable me to position to suit first. Its not top of my list at the moment though!

kieranexige Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Velcro here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWill Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Stick with the Velcro. I found quite bad corrosion on the floor pan where it had chemically reacted with the washers. Cleaned, treated and covered with duralac. Refitting with plastic washers Front rebuild finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithpaulg Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Difficult to see in these shots but this weekend i installed some running boards. Had them from a chap on seloc who sells them. Sprayed them up during the week, then drilled the holes in underside to mount them (that wasnt nerveracking - but quite simple in the end). Really please with the look and compliments the front splitter and balances the car. Also took the opportunity to tidy up the rust that was developing on the brake-disc centres.

Broadside Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I've got a nasty feeling that I've talked myself into buying a set of Nitrons, just because I've got a rusty spring............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. Just make sure you dont go to hard on the spring ratings? If its 90% road use stay fairly soft would be my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its 90% road use stay fairly soft would be my advice. Yes, I agree with you about spring rates. I guess my existing dampers are pretty old so buying new springs for them is probably not the wisest long term investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
