Hey all, just a quick question.

What size tube is used when moving front shackle point forward
Internal and External measurements would be appreciated haha.

I search and Couldn't quite pin point what I was looking for.

Cheers and thank you.

[sideways]

Cut the original shackle mount off (carefully!) and use some 100x50x2.5 RHS (which is exactly what a sierra chassis is) to extend the chassis.

[Sutho]

Nah mate I'm still keeping the original point
Otherwise I would

[SierraDan]

You're adding an extra mount and retaining the stock one?

Measure the one on yours...

[tanshi]

Why would you want to keep the original. It will look highly dodgy to have both

[Sutho]

Nah tanshi, I'm making up a custom drop mount setup to a shackle for my RUF, I'm not Gunna extend the chassis just yet
The tube will be used as the scissor point where the shackle will attach

I have the measurements of the tube 29mm ID and 38mm OD

Is there any special type of tube I should use?

[tanshi]

That is not going to be legal you realise

Sounds weird..



Steel will be good.

I'm imagining a similarity to chain links..

Might be worth fitting johnny joints into the spring eyes for extra floppyness

[Sutho]

Yeah I know it's not Gunna be legal haha that's why it's going on my comp car and not my daily

All sorted now fellas, thank you for your time

[tanshi]

you also realise that alot of comps dont allow you to do things like that tough tracks included.

[Ruthless]

Ain't no competing in tough tracks for Ryan

unless you want to step up a few classes to outlaw
