Well after spending Saturday in the garden it was time to spend Sunday in the garage... Got straight stuck in with mounting,measuring,re-mounting and re-measuring the front shocker mounts so that when the air bags inflate and deflate there was going to be no issues with fouling or stopping them going through there full movement... So before work begins... I started off by tie rapping the shocker at the position needed when all the air has been let out of the bag, and offered up the mounting brackets to the lower edge of the chassis... Then I tacked the brackets into place.... I re-positioned the shocker and let the jack down,The upper pen line is ride height and the middle line is fully deflated.The last line at the bottom is 15mm lower and thats the shocker fully in.Once I've got the body and wings on if there's enough room in the wheel arch I can remove 10 to 15mm off the steel top mount and get it to sit even lower... ;D Rear shockers next..... Cheers Marcus

Mocking About.... So I've been in the garage tonight and had to do a bit of head scratching, first job was to make a down pipe for the exhaust on the drivers side(although I am only making it temporarily out of mild steel for now). This was so I could offer up the brake pedal assembly. Next job was then to try and mount the brake servo unit to the pedal bracket. I had to move the bracket back that far for clearance that the pedal is now toooo far back.. But there was also a BUT with the master cylinder as the gap left between the servo and the tubular cross members is way too small to squeeze it in.... So I have started making a plate to mount behind the cross member's and mount the servo/master cylinder assembly unit behind it and make an extension bar from the pedal to it... Cheers Marcus

So there's not enough room in the area you first offered it too! Guess the master cylinder needs to sit horizontal, but if you extend the pedal bar don't you also increase the length of travel or are you gioing to articulate the lever in some way?

Yes Mick the master cylinder has to sit flat and the extension bar will just connect the pedal pivot point to the servo unit. If you look at the pictures below you can see thats how its designed, although they are usually mounted together and the bar between them will not have any affect on the brakes.... Cheers Marcus
