alextangent Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Anyone converting to wide track? Narrow track live axle suspension, particularly the lower LHS & RHS wishbones as per CC here. Alex McDonald Loud, louder, loudest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Alex, I've got a couple of these floatingn around in the garage somewhere. I'd need a couple of days to search them out, and from memory I think that they could do with a re-powerdercoat (that was my original plan anyway). Let me know, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesG Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have a pair of these I took off my '87 DD car; they look identical, available if Dave doesn't sort you. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sorry Alex, been out of contact for a couple of days. Personally I would have them cleaned up and nylon/powder coated. Rebush after that. I presume that they still have the original bushes that they were supplied with. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextangent Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 No problem. What I have identified as a problem is the 3 types of potential wishbone. Ooo-err, which one? Live axle negative camber here Live axle non-negative camber here Live axle with a dohickey bar across the wide end here I've got one of the first two, but who knows if it's got a camber or not 🤔 🤔 Alex McDonald Loud, louder, loudest...

richardm57 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Alex. The original wishbones on my 1988 dedion came as std type. Did fit the negative camber ones they have an N stamped next to where the trunnion fits. Think these were same as la. Do not know if number 3 has taper rubbers or as the later metalastic bush type. I am in the process of fitting the non trunion type wishbones which can be done wthout chassis mods. But it means making hole in body larger. richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
