7 wonders of the world Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 If like myself you missed the boat first time around and have fancied going inboard on the front then this might be of interest to you.The Bell crank rocker is now no longer available from the original source and so this was always a sticking point, the steel parts are still available form the original source.However thanks to the help of fellow members we now have full dimensions and a company able to CNC them for us.So if your tempted then please let me know as we can add your requirements to the batch.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Any idea of costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Interesting - I am going to draw up the parts, but I have the pre-96 front end, so believe mine has to be different. I couldn't buy the inboard set-up even when Freestyle were around due to the chassis being different.Good luck - it is a shame the design died with the company.

7 wonders of the world Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Guys,Looking at £125 pair anodizied complete with the spacer fo between the bearings, bearings themselves are about £3 each for a decent quality online Simply Bearings etc.Shipping to be charaged on a case by case as I'm getting enquires from wide and far.Trying to keep things simple so we will probably go for the most popular colour choice for the anodizing.Please BM me asap if your looking for a pair as I already have names against the first six pairs.Payment details to follow later.

Simon.Rogers Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Can I add something and I wish it to be positive not negative.You will find that due to the short length of the damper when using the Freestyle set up you will be very much restricted to damper choice.You will be able to fit a twin tube (low spec - not gas pressurized) damper and an high end Ohlins or similar.Please take this into account when budgeting for cost and specing for performance.Nitron no longer make the 3 way dampers in the small size that were fitted to 3 or possibly 4 of the kits that were manufactured.I have serviced 3 of those kits.

Culminator Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Simon is correct, which is why Gary fitted the AVO units, Getting anything else in between the chassis rails is going to be very difficult on a normal budget. The original damper platforms ran a couple of mm from the chassis tubes.Also might be worth noting that the original set up ran with superwide wide track, so not sure if the bell crank is affected by just normal wide track pick up angles?

7 wonders of the world Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks for the point on the Nitrons Simon,Having spoken with Gary regarding both set ups, they both use the same bellcrank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I can supply the correctly sized and rated dampers but they will be pretty much F3 based apart from the valving obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdC Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I might be interested also, Simon. What sort of cost for all the components, and can I still use my shiny QRS dampers? And possibly more importantly, what does it realistically do for the car, apart from sate my upgrade-itus for a few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 No the QZ range of dampers will not fit. Neither will Nitron's. I have only ever driven one car with the Freestyle set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Well the rockers have had their first pass through the CNC yesterday............ looking good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick Linnett Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Quantum Dampers Mmmmmm!!!! Work very well with Freestyle set up. The best I have used on Track.Speak to:-Simon at Meteor orLaurence at QuantumMerrick 69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Just one pair form the first bath looking for a home................. Quantums are available to fit too - Zero and One Zero at sensible prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thats good news.Have you physically tried them as the last time I had someone try a regular damper they told me it touched somewhere.I thought you were stuck to 1.9"ID springs because of the close proximity of other parts?
