Yep, thank you very much!

We are in print again. The article is about the lower arm mod I've been doing for the past few years. Here is a thread on it I did two years ago.

Here's one on the spring perch mod I did about the same time.

The upper arm mod is next. I don't see any reason to not share my ideas. I think the cars are safer and easier to drive with roller parts so if I can help, I will.

Awesome congrats John.

My friend, his dad and I are going to try doing the leaf spring upgrade that was posted on here not to long ago. That was your idea also wasn't it?

 

[Opentracker]

Yes it was. I have never bought a new set of leaf springs. I rebuild leaf springs to get the ride height and spring rate I want. I've been doing it for 15+ years, it's free and it works.

Hi John.

With those UCA's, is there a reason you don't move the spring perch mount out, as you did on some prototype pieces? Did you decide that this mod has no benefit, or is a vintage racing deal?

Here's the write up, if you scroll down the thread someone has a nice drawing to help visualize the leaf sets. It can also be found by searching "Opentracker leaf mod".
