Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Do exactly that! lol. Have seen a welded in rear harness bar a few times too, same height as yours but a fair bit further back, lessening the angle.

na i understand that mate, just what else can i do in the situation apart from fitting a full cage?

strut brace on the rear

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Get a harness bar welded to your current cage. seen an msv one like that before

Hi...

keep that rusty mk1 out of my thread

in all serious, a full cage would be best option.
welded in rear strut could be an option, hmmmm

 

[Hutchie]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

if you do weld a full cage in then get the fecking thing msa log booked and come rallying FFS

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Rust free I thankyou!

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

hmm, in talks now....

could get a bar welded across the back, problem is will the harness be long enough as Bazzon isnt the smallest of people.

hmmmm

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

If It was me, i'd be getting a bar welded across the MSV cage.

Mate, I spoke to him in March about them. He said they were on order and he would ring me when he had them. Seen him twice since and still no sign of them. He did say he ha ordered some different ones tho to avid this problem. maybe you just have like for like replacmets.

He's full of s**t mate, he said he was getting some ones that were uprated, said the were made by Faulkner springs. I rang Faulkner who informed me that they had already made the springs for AST and that they had them. So I rang dennis at AST who informed me he had been waiting for months for Curtis to confirm how many springs he needed. Dennis then said he would phone Curtis and arrange delivery of the springs. Which he did, Curtis recieved springs from AST this week. Dennis also said he was supplying them FOC, Curtis previous tried to charge me

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Could be the diff mate. Clutch would move it a bit but would slip loads.

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

If its the clip don't replace it and then give it abuse at the track again cos once they jump out thats it, will allway come out when getting big stick:dapprove:

yep, apparently a fix is by fitting a plate to help but not 100% on details. Just what the guy who does my boxes has said.
