bluelighttaxidriver Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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.

timireson Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 HiYou 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??T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelighttaxidriver Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Excellent. Thank you.. :)Will probably go with mounting them direct to chassis.Aye... Twenty years as a Paramedic makes you a bit cynical.. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS211083 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 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???Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelighttaxidriver Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 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...

cook1e Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 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)...
