Shock absorber position

[kikets]

Hi!

Guys, I would like to know your opinion about the following. Pictures show the front and rear shock absorbers. Do you agree with the position of the gold and black knob? (compression-rebound adjusters)? Is it accesible once the car is finished?

Also, I would really appreciate if someone can provide me the measures shown on the skecth. Total lenght and the travel/range of your shock.

Once more, thank you very much!

FRONT:



REAR:

wont the rear one be a bit of a bugger to adjust, with the clip up.... You dont get a lot of room in there even with clip up??

Sorry cant help with measurements as i have Intrax

Think the front will be OK but the back looks like it will foul the inner wheel arch as the clip comes down.

a good place to meet all this petrolheads is the kitcar show next year, if you hurry up you can go with your Ultima there, still a looooooooooooooooong drive

[kikets]

hope the car will be finished before the kit-car show! If so, we can meet in central europe and cross.

we will see...still lot of things to do before "wonderful days" come.

yep thats going to foul as Steve says.....

[kikets]

the bottle can turn, so if I put it "in front" like the front damper, should it be fine?

[Gulf -LS2]

i would try it at 7 oclock as we look at it??

[kikets]

Can you turn the bottle, whilst its still gassed up with nitorgen, or is the part that moves, the actual sperical bearing on the end ?

Silly question of the day, but are the shocks upside down?
