    Anti-squat

    AMMO replied to AMMO's topic in TechTalk

    Thanks guys for your replies. What triggered a this off for me was accelerating over a series of small bumps and getting that wah,wah,wah noise from the engine as the revs go up and down as the wheels lose traction. I thought soft springs with the correct pre-load, wheel travel, damping and a little anti-squat should cure that. I never thought of the implications of going round corners! After what you have said the neutral route seems to be best. Can't work out if the link arms is in tension or compression though, been driving me nuts. I'm erring on the side of tension but am not at all sure. What do you think? I'll definately look up Carroll Smith. AMMO

    Anti-squat

    Graham, my car has only got the upper position too. I was thinking of putting my own beefed up version lower down. AMMO

    Anti-squat

    AMMO posted a topic in TechTalk

    I think that the late cars have two alternative positions on the chassis for the de dion link arm. If fitted to the lower position does this introduce a certain amount of anti-squat? Can you then run slightly lighter springs than you would in the normal position? I want to do some mods to my '89 Supersprint and was thinking of making new link arms with a larger chassis bolt in double shear. Also any thoughts on mods for the A frame to improve the suspension and safety. Thanks in advance. AMMO

    Front end mods

    AMMO replied to AMMO's topic in TechTalk

    Thanks guys for the prompt reply. Graham, I'll probably go your route too and will also be trying 021's and Green Stuff. Kevin, thanks for the info and the link to Steve Shaw's page. Lots of useful ideas. AMMO

    Front end mods

    AMMO posted a topic in TechTalk

    I've recently purchased a 1700 Supersprint with de dion axle and five speed box with the intention to upgrade it over a period of time. I want to sort out the handling and brakes before I look at any engine mods. First on the list is double wishbone front end (mine has the forged top links and 1/2" arb). Has anyone done this? If so any advice would be appreciated. AMMO

    Front wishbones

    AMMO posted a topic in For Sale

    I have a 1989 De Dion car with forged top links at the front. I wish to convert to double wishbones and heavier anti roll bar. I need all the bits and pieces including shocks and uprights. Anyone converted to wide track front still got their old parts they want to sell? Thanks. Ammo AMMO
