Thats the AG rear end setup Mark not the front.

M K

Yeah that is the rear steering arm mark,

I didn't know you made the wrc ones when Andrew did the fiesta and I couldn't find any so Andrew made the same as he run on his focus first off, not very pleasing to the eye but function over form

MK MOTORSPORT

iTrader: (1)

they still call then steering arms ie rear steering arms and front steering arms

MK MOTORSPORT

iTrader: (1)

with all the effort your going to .to make the rest look ok didnt think you could live with them marc

Mark,

I going to be buying 2 wrc uprights from yourself into the new year, can you supply anything to resolve the box part? im using the same setup as marc.

MK MOTORSPORT

iTrader: (1)

hi yes i do a billet item that will do away with that

thanks mark

M K

iTrader: (9)

I already pm'd Andrew a few months back asking if i could straight swap with these and would they fit my uprights, there not a direct swap as i need to alter my link lengths and possible the rose joints but the wrc arms do fit my hubs so yes i will most likely get a pair off you when the rear end goes back together, pm the price again as i forgot what you said last time, did you get the tca bolts done too?

Pm coming your way saves spamming Beefy's thread.

Just going back to that about MOT SVA e.t.c. The MOt tester will look at the car enter the details I.e chassie and reg on to the system longs as the colour, reg, chassie num, and car i.e escort witch is what it will look like to the naked eye. come up. He will test it. Then aslongs the emmissions, brake efficency, headlight alingment, bushes, play in suspension, tyres, seat belts and every thing else they test there is no reason why they wont just pass it. Sorry if thats all ready been said and i'v just started the obvious.

Looking good any way beefy.

I agree with that, also back to my pug it still has 95% of its original chassis aswell as inner wings ect, but it is at AG getting most of the back end changed! lol

Cross that bridge when you get to it Beefy.

Crack on with the build

sheerline

beefy was this on the back of a tranny , parked at the top of west dyke rd redcar in all the snow , 530 today , if so u from redcar bud

no sheerline ,


but i do know the car your on about mate ,


beef ,

update follwing ,

Psycho Warren

currently yes, but as most people know there are proposals for stiffening the MoT system to include checking for modifications and highlighting radically altered/rebuilt vehicles incorrectly registered.

its only a matter of time before this comes in in one form or another.

So its wise for people doing such conversions these days to at least consider the implications of registering the car correctly or at least registering it via someone "friendly" with DVLA so you have it on the vehicle history as having been checked.

ok peeps , after yesterdays dealings with the turrets , we got on today with re positioning them as to marks recommendations ,


so the idea was to set them with the same castor and camber as the fronts, so we decided to keep the lowest part of the turret to the centerline , and canter the top in and back ,


so we got on with it ,

how they looked , 6degrees inclined - how we had them to begin



they were then reposition in accordance with the angle of the fronts

now 14 degrees , seemed a little excessive at first , but its ok in the front so its ok for the back lol



the were vertical in car



now 5 degrees back



felt like andyescos today !!!



so how they look inside tub



filler strips were started , these will be welded in then a 2mm think plate welded over the top to a good solid weld to turret



all set and checked to every accountable measurement



how they now look from front lol




they look a little steep inward , but the turrets fit alot better karl was on with welding them in now ,

so yeah , catching bk up , hopefully they should be sorted by the weekend ,

just the cradel to collect and get that fitted ,


beef and karl ,




ohh and there wleded in now so they aint coming back out !!!!!

top quality!!

JamesR1

Fair point. they have been harping on for a while now about 4-2-2. and also that atl lanes are to be mandatory.

BIG.GEOFF.H

i had my cossie mk3 cab inspected from greater manchester stolen vehicle squad after it went for an identity check at the dvla local office to take my private plate off. the dvla officer was concerned that it may be stolen due to the floor number being in the wrong place to the mk4 carpet what was fitted and the colour being different(there fault not changing wen log book filled in) so off to gmsvs and he said that as the majority of the car is its original form ie the looks that changing the direction of the drive train isnt significantly altering it enough to Q plate it thank fook then 2 wks later decided to keep her n put plate back on lol. thought ide be doing the same but i transfered to my van and never had to take for an id check result

lookin good beef keep up the graft

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

now geoff fella,


been quiet of late aint you mucka ??


just a note , looked back at them pics, the last shot from front to rear the left turret hadnt been moved , whence why they look at diffrent angles lol

TimC

iTrader: (1)

I know its a bit late now, but wouldnt it of been better to of not fitted the turrets until you had all the major components there for it. Its like making up custom engine mounts without having an engine there.

special-K

yeh they are welded matey think you mite be surprised 2moro...K

Hya geoff how it going matey hows the little 1??? K

special-K

thats very true but beefs time is limited for fab work so they had to go in... K

andy888

AG's turrets look fairly upright in his projects? and his cars seem to go/handle ok!

scratch18

iTrader: (1)

loving the interior light beef but i dont think its working as the door is slightly ajar and its not on lol

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

the only assumption i can make regards that is andys car / cars are primarly built for the track , theres no issues with bumpy roads ect,

as this is a road car mark made the poing of adding some castor and camber into the car to help the travel of the tyre, so say if i hit a pothole it wouldnt br trying to rip the wheel backwards rather than upwards ,



ive no dount they will be fine now , lol they have to be so to speak , as k said , ive limited time and cant afford to wait ,it wouldnt be fair to the folk waiting behind me ,


been put on girlfrined duty today ---- fucking shopping !!



will try to get over to see karl later on today ,

when this thread is finally finished and the car is out, is it possible for one of the mods to duplicate it with just the bits that need keeping in, like the pics etc?

don't want to strip this thread down to the bare bones as it's got a lot of questions asked and answered throughout, but it's one hell of a long read at 50 pages, beef's moved house at least twice, the cars been changed at least once, and between them, they must have had about 50 different jobs, it's reading like his life story not just a quick fixathon on a motor

big andy

Quality diy suspension.

Don't forget the front does the steering, so having it the same at the back does not mean it will work.

Have a look through the net at similar stuff your doing for tips. Group b supercars to the wrc escort.
Unless you can get hold of a copy of a computer suspension program.

beef should be on with an update very shortly...K
