D27:Upright Mods D1



I'm still working on the details of how to convert the front spindles from being strut type to dual a-arm. Here's the beginning of the McSorley approach. I don't think I'm going to use this exact same method as I want better access to the castle nut with the upper ball joint installed. Also, one of my struts is badly bent and a new (used) strut will likely cost me more than something scratch built. This does give me a good start to a template for building whatever solution I do come up with tho. One note on this process... the warning on the struts, "DO NOT OPEN, GAS PRESSURE" really means, "If you drill a small hole in the side, hydrolic fluid will spay all over your garage, floor to ceiling." You can see it on the floor in the daily status photo.
