Worked a bit on the front suspension today. Got them mocked up and temporarily mounted with just one bolt to see how the main sail sets , as they say.

Front Springs

Got the front springs sorted today. They're only mounted with threaded rod and nuts so now off to the hardware store for some real (ah-hum) hardware. Started the rear spring mounts and got the parts laid out for the front friction shocks/radius arms. Still in the infancy stages on the rear suspension, but she'll get sorted.

Rear Springs

Not much done as the dog decided it hadn't been to the vet in a while and thought a great idea to change that. Anyway.....Just some mock-up or the start thereof for the rear spring and swingarms. Still pondering whether to go with a jack-shaft or just make the swing-arm pivot point line up with the TAV output shaft. Oh bother!

Lazy day today. Didn't do much, but looks like a jack shaft is the answer.

Motor Mount And Start Of Rear Swing Arms

Fabbed up the start of a motor mount, with still a lot to do to it. Very early fab of rear swing arms. Might be a few days not working on it due to injured foot, or maybe an old injury that finally let go. X rays will tell Monday. Anyway life goes on. LOL
