outrigger protectors
Discussion
In the recent rebuild of the front suspension found the 1 year old new outriggers already had stone-chips and were covered in crud..........mud + water on triangle plates and tubes > rust & rot......
So, decided to make outrigger protectors, mainly to get the sand and mud out.
They are made in foamex, which is a low density PVC. This stuff is light, plyable and is formable like wood.
This is the material;
roughly formed;
shaped to size, method of securing;
in situ & siliconed;
finished result;
Now for a bit of testing !

Is Forex a trade name, googling brings up just stuff about market trading stocks and shares?
Would it be a bit like Foamex?
I stand corrected, Mike, its indeed Foamex (edited my post to correct too)Would it be a bit like Foamex?

I'm more interested in what looks like a camber adjuster bolt sitting on the top of the top ball joint. Any chance of a close up picture and an explanation.
Cheers

Looks like it's the top suspension mounting bolt tbhCheers

You will be really happy with the results frank, took my Chassis guards off for the first time in 3 years they protect it from mud and water and best of all stops the powder coat from getting chipped by stonesSo, decided to make outrigger protectors, mainly to get the sand and mud out.

Portzi, I see you went the bolted route on the outrigger protectors, rather like em.. Plus they seem to do the job as intended !
Re the adjustable camber; is that an altered set off of the rear lower wishbone ?
Do like to go on track, now and again, but in essence a fast road driver, so not really concerned with more negative camber
