Rotoflex suspension

[bluelighttaxidriver]

Quick question... Going to start building up my gt6 chassis in a couple of weeks. Have splashed out on a Canley CV conversion (lots of overtime..). Do I still need to get the  brackets to attach the dampers to the chassis, or is there no longer a clearance issue, ie, can I attach them straight to the chassis, non rotoflex style..?
Many thanks.

Hi
You can fix straight to the chassis, but I have the brackets which I think make the suspension/dampers  more vertical which I think means they work better/less stress on them.

I like  your screen name!! I wonder if anyone else has figured it out??

The downside of the brackets is that you need a special shock absorber as it is a different length, so I have stuck with the std position and shocks (well, koni's but std spitfire size)

Excellent. Thank you..   :)
Will probably go with mounting them direct to chassis.

Aye... Twenty years as a Paramedic makes you a bit cynical..  ;)

Blue, your back? What happened and how far along are you??? Can't wait to see the car. Get some photo's up. Did you keep the gt6 and mod it or did you get another spitfire???

Chassis is still completely stripped. Been painted & sealed. Came to a bit of a stop for a couple of months, while I hammered the overtime, so I could put a couple of big orders in with Canleys. Should hopefully be able to get a wheel on each corner within the next month...  :)
Sold the gt6 body tub on. Think the guy wanted the whole thing just for the webasto roof. Another overtime binge after Christmas should put me in a position to look for a Spitfire body in earnest.
Will try to load pics up, but not got a pc, & it keeps saying files too large...

you need to reduce the size of the pictures before you post them on this site, I usually reduce them down to about 800x600 pixles which allows 2 or 3 pictures per post. Another  alternative is to post them full size on another site like photo bucket and link to them using the image command (little icon above the text when you are posting which looks a boit like a PC screen)...

Think the easiest way will be to get a teenager to do it.. It's late afternoon so they should be out of bed soon...  :)
