Cant you overcome the problem without cutting the turrets out ?
Im sure Mark from Mk can come up with a plan
I only mentioned it as it looks like your putting alot of time and money into the car and didn't want you to have problems when its all painted
I know id rather have people tell me before its too late

Hehe

One is out now i have irritaded me long of the wrong setup, so now im gonna fix it the right way!!

How is it suppose to be welded in, leaning som where or strait in all ways?

Inner edge of turrets (closest to each other are vertical)

Centre line of top mount 20mm to the rear of the centre line of the drive shaft giving you your castor angle

Think the turrets have to be 680cm apart aswell but im sure someone will correct me if im wrong

You can run it it in 50/50 4wd and martin dose a controller for 250 if you wont to pay that

vinge87

The most genius is that if i want to drift with 2wd then thats no problem, thats why i want skyline center diff and a controller

Both turrents are now out, MUCH cleaning to do old wells roll gage etc....

When we did doberman1234's and my rear end we made a plate that bolts onto thd driveshaft flange and then welded a tube on to replicate the dtiveshaft .this will give you the lower reference point for the turret find the centre line of the turret and set it 20mm to the rear of the centre of the driveshaft .
Turrets should be parallel to each other and tops should be level from front to back
The top mounts are slightly angled to centre of the car to help set camber

vinge87

Hmm, i will wait to Mark has given me te parts, i will order coilovers Gaz gold so i have all parts and can easy mount the turrents

MK MOTORSPORT

hi
that is the only way to do it properly ,i will do you some diagrams for reference ,

mark

vinge87

Dobermans car, his turrents are to low as i can see? Or i did mine to high....hehe

Where can i buy 4 front gaz gold coilovers? I have only seen them as a kit rear and front..

whizzisat114

iTrader: (2)

Are you going to cut the cage out and fit new bars to the turrets again or extend what you have?

whizzisat114

iTrader: (2)

Speak to Gaz direct you can buy what you want off them

whizzisat114

iTrader: (2)

Doberman is running shorter shocks I think he didnt want them too high in the car.

vinge87

Hi, no i dont extend the cage, i have cut out the "x" and weld it back when i have fitted the turrets again

vinge87

Ahh ok then i understand why they are so low

andy escos

iTrader: (1)

vinge87

Orded direct from gaz, gaz gold 200pounds springs rear and 800 front, so we will see if it is a correct setup.....

Haha, u know what i ment.........Pictures og the parts u making for me

vinge87

Mark: HI
did you get 2 pairs of fronts ,are they fitting grpa bottoms on one pair or are you doing that yourself


Um yes 2pairs of fronts, do i need to change 1 pair with grpa bottoms, can they do that?

MK MOTORSPORT

iTrader: (1)

if they cant get them to send to me and i will do it

mark

vinge87

Ok, i have sent them a mail so will come back to you on how we do it.

vinge87

Ok guys, i realy need some pictures or any else to help me mesure up where to put the rear turrents, angles or strait and all i need to know, or do i realy need to wait 3-6 weeks before i get the parts from Mark? Thanks guys

whizzisat114

iTrader: (2)

Wait till you have all parts to mock up
then you can check all angles and settings


Im sure turrets were set 960mm apart and need to be vertical
As said in post 131 turrets have to be parallel to each other and set centre line of the turret 20mm to the rear of the centre of the drive shaft flange on the diff

David

vinge87

When i mesure up now i will have 91cm betwen the turrents... 96cm is not possible, or do you mean center turrents? Will post pictures later today.

dobermann1234

I can check mine 4 u!
Off the top of my head u need 960 mm from inside of turret

vinge87

If you could do that then i will be wery happy.

I have no problems fitting it with 960mm , but then it will be wery little caster or angle on the turrent.....

What is the mesurment under car, from turrent to turrent? I have 860mm now.......

vinge87

As promised, pictures.

The pictures lies a little, but im getting there where to put the turrents.

Whizzy': I put the top center 2 cm rear from the center, was this what you ment?

Looking good mate

Centre line of turrets 20mm back from centre line of driveshaft
Id cut off flange around the edge of the turrets as they are set for escort cossie inner arches.
Make them back up at a later date.
You could do with diff .drive shaft. Upright .shock and wheel so you can set the turret width in relation to rear wheel track in the shell
otherwise you could end up with the rear shock sitting at the wrong angle when your trying to build it up.
Best not to rush this stage as it will cause you alot of problems later on

vinge87

Ok, will do all the small things that i can do untill i get the parts
Yes i will cut out flange

I dont have the driveshafts, they need to be built when i know all mesurments because off the Diff
