Geo! We'll all be dead in 5yrs, I'll give you 5 months to have it finished  On the weight target mentioned in Pete's thread; Your chassis is beast. Any idea how much it weights compared to an original or a Barbour? Luv ya work

@ Harley I don't now the weight of Louis chassis and mine isn't finished.. We are both aiming other goals.. Louis is aiming for durability, I'm am aiming for lightweight... Yesterday and today I made a second attempt for the airride and I'm very satisfied sofar.. The height keeps on freightning me but take a look for yourself...

The discs are about 10 cm of the ground will bring it down to 5cm... |

lpgo, isn't it the driveshafts which should be 'very afraid', given the offset they would need to accommodate at that height? lpgo wrote: The height keeps on frightening me, but take a look for yourself... Still not satified.. The discs are about 10 cm of the ground will bring it down to 5cm... |

Yes you are right Ken.. But I am just discovering the power vs. suspension-travel of these shocks.. Normaly these shocks are used to lower cars and I want to "higher" it.. I think with 5cm to 8 cm less the driveshafts already cope with the job (think about the angle they make when making a sharp corner) That's why I want to still lower it more having the rear discs about 5cm above the ground in lowest position. The travel will almost be the same but more appropriate... But it looks cool doesn't it...

Very cool indeed  You will need wider rear fenders to cope with the fatter offroad tyres?

Making 4x4's I have several reararms lying around now good for testing.. When I'm satisfied I will modify and use 2 Louis Barbour reararms which I bought half a year ago... Attachment: IMG_20140417_193827.jpg [ 360.09 KiB | Viewed 7379 times ] Biggest problem I have right now is that the air-schocks are not getting "havier" when the suspension gets compressed???? If you take a good look at the rear suspension of an original 2cv the suspension-arm is getting longer when it gets compressed. Now I need to translate this somehome into the air-suspension.. |

Tody I'm going to order some T connectors to connect the right and left shocks together so I can see if this helps with getting a stiffer suspension when the suspension is compressed... |
